Question
The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is
Options
A.periodic but not simple harmonic
B.simple harmonic but not periodic
C. periodic and simple harmonic
D.neither period nor simple harmonic
Solution

In circular motion of a particle with constant speed, particle repeats its motion after a regular interval of time but does oscillate about a fixed point. So, motion of particle is periodic not simple harmonic.
