An artificial satellite is orbiting the Earth. Is its circular motion a simple harmonic motion?

Which of the following is a necessary and sufficient condition for $S.H.M.$?

The graphs in the figure show that a quantity $y$ varies with displacement $d$ in a system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Which graph best represents the relationship obtained when $y$ is the time?

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):
$(a)$ $\sin \omega t - \cos \omega t$
$(b)$ $\sin^3 \omega t$
$(c)$ $3 \cos (\pi/4 - 2 \omega t)$
$(d)$ $\cos \omega t + \cos 3 \omega t + \cos 5 \omega t$
$(e)$ $\exp(-\omega^2 t^2)$
$(f)$ $1 + \omega t + \omega^2 t^2$

The displacement of a particle performing linear $S.H.M.$ is given by $y = A \cos[\pi(t + \phi)]$. If at $t = 0$, the displacement is $y = 2 \text{ cm}$ and velocity is $2\pi \text{ cm/s}$, the value of amplitude $A$ in $\text{cm}$ is

For a particle showing motion under the force $F = -5(x - 2)$,the motion is ...........
