STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation y = 3 cos(π/4 - 2ωt). The motion of the particle is

A

simple harmonic with period 2π/ω

B

simple harmonic with period π/2ω

C

periodic but not simple harmonic

D

non-periodic.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The given equation y = 3 cos(π/4 - 2ωt) represents a simple harmonic motion with angular frequency 2ω. The period T is given by T = 2π/(2ω) = π/2ω, indicating simple harmonic motion with this period.
