MHT CET Physics question

The oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion Since

(A)its path is straight line
(B)its displacement, velocity and acceleration are represented by trigonometric function sine and cosineCorrect
(C)its displacement, velocity and acceleration are represented by trigonometric function sine, cosine and tangent
(D)both 'a' and 'b'

Answer: (B)

Solution

SHM is called harmonic because x, v and a are sinusoidal functions (sine and cosine) of time; a straight-line path alone does not make a
