Physics Question on Oscillations
The circular motion of a panicle with constant speed is
A
simple harmonic but not periodic
B
periodic and simple harmonic
C
neither periodic nor simple harmonic
D
periodic but not simple harmonic
Answer
periodic but not simple harmonic
Explanation
Solution
In a circular motion particle repeats after equal intervals of time. So, particle motion on a circular path is periodic but not simple harmonic as it does not execute to and fro motion about a fixed point.
