Motion in a Plane - Result Question 48

51. The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is

[2005]

(a) periodic but not simple harmonic

(b) simple harmonic but not periodic

(c) periodic and simple harmonic

(d) neither periodic nor simple harmonic

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 51. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) In circular motion of a particle with constant speed, particle repeats its motion after a regular interval of time but does not oscillate about a fixed point. So, motion of particle is periodic but not simple harmonic.
