The equation of motion of a particle is x = a cos (α t ) 2. The motion is
(a) Periodic but not oscillatory.
(b) Periodic and oscillatory.
(c) Oscillatory but not periodic.
(d) Neither periodic nor oscillatory.
The equation of motion of a particle is x = a cos (α t ) 2. The motion is
(a) Periodic but not oscillatory.
(b) Periodic and oscillatory.
(c) Oscillatory but not periodic.
(d) Neither periodic nor oscillatory.
This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(c) x=acos ( )2, so it is SHM motion.
X (t+T)=acos [ ]2
= acos [ ]
So it is not periodic.
So it is oscillatory but not periodic
