14.4 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 ( ω is any positive constant):

(a) Sin ω t – cos ω t

(b) Sin3 ω t

(c) 3 cos ( π /4 – 2 ω t)

(d) Cos ω t + cos 3 ω t + cos 5 ω t

(e) Exp (– ω 2t2)

(f) 1 + ω t + ω 2t2

(a) The given function is sin ω t – cos ω t

212sin?ωt-12cos?ωt = 212sin?ωt*cos?π4-12cos?ωt*sin?π4

2sinωt-π4 )

This function represents SHM as it can be written in the form: a sin ( ω t + θ )

Its period is 2πω . It is periodic, but not SHM

 

(b) Sin3 ω t = 123sin?ωt-sin?3ωt

The terms sin?ω t and sin?3ω t individually represents simple harmonic motion. However, the superposition of two SHM is peri
