The two-dimensional motion of a particle, described by r = ( i + 2 j)A t is a/an: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- B, C and D only
- A, B and C only
- A, C and D only
- C and D only
Answer
(4) C and D only
Solution
x = A t, y = 2A t y = 2x
The path is a straight line (neither parabolic nor elliptical).
The position vector varies as t along a fixed direction, so the motion is periodic and simple harmonic, with amplitude 5A.
C and D only.
Answer: (4)
