Q4 of 111 Page 251

A particle moves in a circular path with a continuously increasing speed. Its motion is

Time period of the motion will vary as the speed is changing. Therefore, it is not periodic motion.

Also, it is not oscillating about any mean position and force acting on it is not proportional to the displacement of the particle. Hence it is not a simple harmonic motion.
