A particle is acted simultaneouosly be mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motion x= a cos omega t" and "y= a sin omega t. The trajectory of motion of the particle will be………

Answer»

an ellipse
a parabola
a CIRCLE
a STRAIGHT line

Solution :`x= a COS omega t" and "y= a sin omega t`
Squaring and adding the both,
`x^(2)+y^(2) = a^(2) [ cos^(2) omega t+ sin omega^(2) t]`
`THEREFORE x^(2)+y^(2)= a^(2)`
is a general FORMULA of circle, its radius is a.
