Question
The circular motion of a particle 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
Solution :
In a circular motion, particle repeats its motion after equal intervals of time. So, particle moving on a circular path is periodic but not simple harmonic as it does not execute to and fro motion about a fixed point.
