The correct Answer is:
To determine the trajectory of the particle given the displacements \( x(t) = -a \sin(\omega t) \) and \( y(t) = a \sin(2\omega t) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the equations The equations for the displacements are: - \( x(t) = -a \sin(\omega t) \) - \( y(t) = a \sin(2\omega t) \) ### Step 2: Find critical points We will evaluate the displacements at specific time intervals to understand the trajectory. **At \( t = 0 \):** - \( x(0) = -a \sin(0) = 0 \) - \( y(0) = a \sin(0) = 0 \) So, at \( t = 0 \), the particle is at the origin (0,0). ### Step 3: Evaluate at \( t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega} \) **At \( t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega} \):** - \( x\left(\frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = -a \sin\left(\omega \cdot \frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = -a \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -a \) - \( y\left(\frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = a \sin\left(2\omega \cdot \frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = a \sin(\pi) = 0 \) At this point, the particle is at (-a, 0). ### Step 4: Evaluate at \( t = \frac{\pi}{4\omega} \) **At \( t = \frac{\pi}{4\omega} \):** - \( x\left(\frac{\pi}{4\omega}\right) = -a \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = -a \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = -\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2} \) - \( y\left(\frac{\pi}{4\omega}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = a \) At this point, the particle is at \(-\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}, a\). ### Step 5: Evaluate at \( t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega} \) **At \( t = \frac{\pi}{2\omega} \):** - \( x\left(\frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = -a \sin(\pi) = 0 \) - \( y\left(\frac{\pi}{2\omega}\right) = a \sin(2\pi) = 0 \) The particle returns to the origin (0,0). ### Step 6: Evaluate at \( t = \frac{3\pi}{4\omega} \) **At \( t = \frac{3\pi}{4\omega} \):** - \( x\left(\frac{3\pi}{4\omega}\right) = -a \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right) = -a \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = -\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2} \) - \( y\left(\frac{3\pi}{4\omega}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -a \) At this point, the particle is at \(-\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}, -a\). ### Step 7: Evaluate at \( t = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \) **At \( t = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \):** - \( x\left(\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\right) = -a \sin(2\pi) = 0 \) - \( y\left(\frac{2\pi}{\omega}\right) = a \sin(4\pi) = 0 \) The particle returns to the origin (0,0). ### Conclusion By plotting these points, we can see that the trajectory of the particle forms a closed loop. The trajectory will look like a sinusoidal wave pattern in the x-y plane.
