Question
A particle moves in a circular path with a continuously increasing speed. Its motion is:
  1. Periodic.
  2. Oscillatory.
  3. Simple harmonic.
  4. None of them.

Answer

  1. None of them.

Explanation:

As the particle does not complete one rotation in a fixed interval of time, neither does it oscillate around a mean position.
