The displacement of a particle is given at time $t$,by: $x = A \sin (-2 \omega t) + B \sin^2 \omega t$. Then,

  • A
    the motion of the particle is $SHM$ with an amplitude of $\sqrt{A^2 + \frac{B^2}{4}}$
  • B
    the motion of the particle is not $SHM$,but oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi / \omega$
  • C
    the motion of the particle is oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi / 2 \omega$
  • D
    the motion of the particle is aperiodic.

$A$ particle executes simple harmonic motion and is located at $x = a, b$ and $c$ at times $t_0, 2t_0$ and $3t_0$ respectively. The frequency of the oscillation is

$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion,the motion is to and fro and periodic.
$Reason :$ Velocity of the particle $(v) = \omega \sqrt {A^2 - x^2}$ (where $x$ is the displacement and $A$ is the amplitude).

Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle,the radius of the circle,and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity,the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: ($x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in $s$).
$(a)\; x = -2 \sin (3t + \pi/3)$
