Give examples of a one-dimensional motion where (a) The particle moving along positive x-direction comes to rest periodically and moves forward.(b) The particle moving along positive x-direction comes to rest periodically and moves backward.

Answer»

SOLUTION :When we are writing an equation BELONGING to periodic nature it include SINE or cosine function.
(a) The particle will be moveing along positive X-direction only if
`x(t) =1 - sin t`
Velocity `v (t) = (dx(t))/(dt) =1 - cos t`
Acceleration `a (t) = (dv)/(dt) = sin t `
When `t =0, x (t) =0`
When `t = pi , x (t) = pi gt 0`
When `t =0, x (t) = 2pi gt 0`
(b) Equation can be represented by
`x (t) = sin t `
`therefore v = (d)/(dt) x (t) = cos t `
As DISPLACEMENT and velocity includes sin t and cos t hence these equations represent periodic.
