The displacement of a particle is represented by the equation y= sin 3 ωtThe motion is

(a) non-periodic
(b) periodic but not simple harmonic
(c) simple harmonic with period 2π/ω
(d) simple harmonic with period π/ω

Key concept: There are certain motions that are repeated at equal intervals of time. Let
the the interval of time in which motion is repeated. Then x(t) =x(t + T), where T is the
minimum change in time. The function that repeats itself is known as a periodic
function.
