Question
When two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions of same frequency, amplitude and phase are superimposed
Options
A.the resulting motion is uniform circular motion.
B.the resulting motion is a linear simple harmonic motion along a straight line inclined equally to the straight lines of motion of component ones.
C.the resulting motion is an elliptical motion, symmetrical about the lines of motion of the components.
D.the two S.H.M. will cancel each other.
Solution
y = A sin (ωt + φ) and x = A sin (ωt + φ) then y = x so path is straight line.
