NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
The displacement of a particle varies with time according to the relation y = a sin ωt + b cos ωt.
The motion is oscillatory but not SHM
The motion is SHM with amplitude a + b
The motion is SHM with amplitude a² + b²
The motion is SHM with amplitude √(a² + b²)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The given equation is a combination of sine and cosine functions, representing SHM with amplitude √(a² + b²).
