The distance moved by a particle in simple harmonic motion in one time period is.

4. zero
| Assertion (A): | The combination of \(y=\text{sin}\omega t+\text{cos}2\omega t\) is not a simple harmonic function even though it is periodic. |
| Reason (R): | All periodic functions satisfy the relation \( \dfrac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}}=-k y \). |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
\(x=A+A\text{sin}\omega t\\ y=A-A\text{sin}\omega t\)
are superposed on a particle, along \(x\) and \(y\) directions. The resultant of these motions is:
| 1. | circular motion |
| 2. | SHM along \(x\)-axis |
| 3. | SHM along \(y\)-axis |
| 4. | SHM, but along a direction other than \(x\) or \(y\)-axis |
The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation \(y= 3 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\omega t \right)\). The motion of the particle is:
| 1. | simple harmonic with period \(\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}\) |
| 2. | simple harmonic with period \(\dfrac{\pi}{\omega}\) |
| 3. | periodic but not simple harmonic |
| 4. | non-periodic |
The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation; \(y =\sin^{3}\omega t.\) The motion is:
| 1. | non-periodic. |
| 2. | periodic but not simple harmonic. |
| 3. | simple harmonic with period \(2\pi / \omega.\) |
| 4. | simple harmonic with period \(\pi / \omega.\) |
The displacement of a particle varies with time according to the relation, \(y=a~\text{sin} \omega t+b~\text{cos} \omega t.\)
| 1. | the motion is oscillatory but not SHM |
| 2. | the motion is SHM with amplitude \(a+b\) |
| 3. | the motion is SHM with amplitude \(a^{2}+b^{2}\) |
| 4. | the motion is SHM with amplitude \(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\) |
