SHMHard

Question

Out of the following function representing motion of a particle which represents SHM
(1) y = sin ωt - cosωt
(2) y = sin3ωt
(3) y = 5 cos
(4) y = 1 + ωt + ω2t2 

Options

A.Only (1)
B.Only (4) does not represent SHM
C.Only (1) and (3)
D.Only (1) and (2)

Solution

y = sinωt - cosωt
   
It represents a SHM with time period, T =
    y = 5 cos
    = y = 5 cos          [∵ cos ( - θ = cos θ]
It represents a SHM with time period, T =
            y = 1 + ωt + ω2t2
It represented a non-periodic motion. Also it is not physically acceptable as the y → ∞ as t → ∞.
