The correct option is A simple harmonic
In simple harmonic motion, displacement of a particle is directly proportional to restoring force.
F∝−x⇒F=−kx⇒md2xdt2=−kx.
The solution of the above equation can be given by
x=c1cos(ωt)+c2sin(ωt)=Asin(ωt−ϕ), where
A=√c21+c22, ω=√km and ϕ=tan−1(c2c1)
c1 and c2 are constants and values can be determined from the initial boundary conditions.
So simple harmonic motions can be described as sin or cosine functions.
