$A$ particle is subjected to two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions such that its $x$ and $y$ coordinates are given by:
$x = 2 \sin \omega t$
$y = 2 \sin \left( \omega t + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)$
The path of the particle will be:

  • A

Two simple harmonic motions are represented by $y_1 = 5[\sin 2 \pi t + \sqrt{3} \cos 2 \pi t]$ and $y_2 = 5 \sin [2 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{4}]$. The ratio of their amplitudes is

When two displacements represented by $y_1 = a \sin(\omega t)$ and $y_2 = b \cos(\omega t)$ are superimposed,the motion is

On the superposition of two harmonic oscillations represented by $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$,a resulting oscillation with the same time period and amplitude is obtained. The value of $\phi_1 - \phi_2$ is .... $^o$

The displacement $y$ of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $y = 4\cos^2(t/2)\sin(1000t)$. This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of $..........$ independent harmonic motions.
