Assertion: Simple harmonic motion is the projection of uniform circular motion on the diameter of the circle in which the latter motion occurs.
Reason: Simple harmonic motion is a uniform motion.

Options

A. If both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

C

Explanation

Simple harmonic motion is expressed by `v=omegasqrt(a^(2)-y^(2))`. With change in displacement y, velocity v changes. Thus simple harmonic motion is not a uniform motion.
