Q. The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is
A) Simple harmonic but not periodic
B) Periodic and simple harmonic
C) Neither periodic nor simple harmonic
D) Periodic but not simple harmonic
Explanation
(d) In a circular motion particle repeats after equal intervals of time. So particle motion on a circular path is periodic but not simple harmonic as it does not execute to and fro motion about a fixed point.
