Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 1) i.e. periodic but not simple harmonic.
CONCEPT:
- Periodic motion is a type of motion where the motion is repeated in regular intervals of time.
- Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where the object oscillates (to and fro) about a fixed point.
EXPLANATION:
- The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is uniform circular motion.
- Due to constant speed, the object will cover equal distances in equal intervals of time. Hence, the circular motion will be repeated in equal intervals of time. So, it is a periodic motion.
- In a circular motion, the object cannot oscillate about a fixed position as it travels circular distances. Thus, it is not a simple harmonic motion.
