Which of the following functions of time represent (a) simple harmonic, (b) periodic but not simple harmonic, and (c) non-periodic motion? Give period for each case of periodic motion (omega is any positive constant): (a) sinomegat-cosomegat (b) sin^(3)omegat (c) 3cos(pi//4-2omegat) (d) cosomegat+cos3omegat+cos5omegat (e) exp(-omega^(2)t^(2)) (f) 1+omegat+omega^(2)t^(2)

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) Simple harmonic, `T = (2pi//omega)`, (b) periodic, `T =(2pi//omega)` but not simple harmonic,
(c) simple harmonic, `T = (pi//omega)`, (d) periodic, `T = (2pi//omega)` but not simple harmonic,
(E) non-periodic, (F) non-periodic (PHYSICALLY not acceptable as the FUNCTION `to oo` as `t to oo`
