Q. 14.4 (a) Which of the following functions of time represent

(a) simple harmonic, (b) periodic but not simple harmonic, and (c) non-periodic motion? Give period for each case of periodic motion (\omega is any positive constant):

(a)  sin\; \omega t-cos\; \omega t

Answers (1)

best_answer

\\sin\omega t-cos\omega t\\ =\sqrt{2}\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}sin\omega t-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}cos\omega t \right )\\ =\sqrt{2}(cos\frac{\pi }{4}sin\omega t-sin\frac{\pi }{4}cos\omega t)\\ =\sqrt{2}sin(\omega t-\frac{\pi }{4})

Since the above function is of form Asin(\omega t+\phi ) it represents SHM with a time period of \frac{2\pi }{\omega }
