Identify the correct definition:
1. | If after every certain interval of time, a particle repeats its motion, then the motion is called periodic motion. |
2. | To and fro motion of a particle is called oscillatory motion. |
3. | Oscillatory motion described in terms of single sine and cosine functions is called simple harmonic motion. |
4. | All of the above |
1. | \(e^{\omega t}\) | 2. | \(\text{log}_e(\omega t)\) |
3. | \(\text{sin}\omega t+ \text{cos}\omega t\) | 4. | \(e^{-\omega t}\) |
The rotation of the earth about its axis is:
1. | periodic motion. |
2. | simple harmonic motion. |
3. | periodic and simple harmonic motion. |
4. | non-periodic motion. |
The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is:
1. | Periodic and simple harmonic | 2. | Simple harmonic but not periodic |
3. | Neither periodic nor simple harmonic | 4. | Periodic but not simple harmonic |
A simple pendulum attached to the ceiling of a stationary lift has a time period of 1 s. The distance y covered by the lift moving downward varies with time as y = 3.75 , where y is in meters and t is in seconds. If g = 10 , then the time period of the pendulum will be:
1. | 4 s | 2. | 6 s |
3. | 2 s | 4. | 12 s |
