    The displacement of a particle is given by
    r→=Ai→ cosωt + j→sinωt.The motion of the particle is
    (a) simple harmonic
    (b) on a straight line
    (c) on a circle
    (d) with constant acceleration
    digAnsr:   c
    Ans : (c) on a circle
    We know, `` \frac{{d}^{2}}{d{t}^{2}}\stackrel{\to }{r}=-{\omega }^{2}\stackrel{\to }{r}``
    `` ``
    But there is a phase difference of 90o between the x and y components because of which the particle executes a circular motion and hence, the projection of the particle on the diameter executes a simple harmonic motion.
