The position x of an object varies with time t. For which of the following equations relating x and t is the motion of the object simple harmonic motion? (There may be more than one correct choice.)

x = 5 sin²3t

x = 5 sin 3t

x = 4 tan 2t

x = 2 cos(3t - 1)

x = 8 cos 3t

Expert Solution

Answer : the following equations relating x and t is the motion of the object simple harmonic motion :

x = 5 sin 3t
x = 2 cos(3t - 1)
x = 8 cos 3t

The position of an object varies sinusoidally in simple harmonic motion. so it can be specified by sine or cosine functions.
