The force acting on a particle moving along X-axis is F = -k(x - v_o t) where k is a positive constant. An observer moving at a constant velocity v₀ along the X-axis looks at the particle. What kind of motion does he find for the particle?
Ans : As the observer moves with a constant velocity along the same axis, he sees the same force on the particle and finds the motion of the particle is not simple harmonic motion.
