Total: 25
Figure depicts four x-t plots for linear motion of a particle. Which of the plots represent periodic motion? What is the period of motion (in case of periodic motion)?
Solution:  
(a) does not represent periodic motion, as the motion neither repeats nor comes to mean position.
(b) represents periodic motion with period equal to 2 s.
(c) does not represent periodic motion, because it is not identically repeated.
(d) represents periodic motion with period equal to 2 s.
