    A particle moves in the X-Y plane according to the equation
    r→=i→+2j→Acosωt.The motion of the particle is
    (a) on a straight line
    (b) on an ellipse
    (c) periodic
    (d) simple harmonic
    digAnsr:   a,c,d
    Ans : (a) on a straight line
    (c) periodic
    (d) simple harmonic
    The given equation is a solution to the equation of simple harmonic motion. The amplitude is `` (\stackrel{\rightharpoonup }{i}+2\stackrel{\rightharpoonup }{j})A``, following equation of straight line y = mx + c. Also, a simple harmonic motion is periodic.
