A particle is executing two different simple harmonic motions, mutually perpendicular, of different amplitudes and having phase difference of `pi//2`. The path of the particle will be

A

circular

B

straight line

C

parabolic

D

elliptical

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As the different amplitudes are mutually perpendicular which have phase difference of `(pi)/(2)` therefore, particle will follow elliptical path.
