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.

Two particles $P$ and $Q$ describe $SHM$ of same amplitude $a$ and same frequency $f$ along the same straight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is $a \sqrt{2}$. The phase difference between the particles is

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ along close parallel lines. Both particles have the same frequency and same amplitude. When they pass each other moving in opposite directions, their displacement is half their amplitude. Their phase difference is:
