STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation y = 3 cos(π/4 - 2ωt). The motion of the particle is
simple harmonic with period 2π/ω
simple harmonic with period π/2ω
periodic but not simple harmonic
non-periodic.
Correct Answer
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.
