Question 982545: A point moves in a straight line so that its distance s from the origin at time t is given by the equation s=5+4sin2t + 3cos 2t. prove that
its acceleration varies as its distance from a fixed point in the line of motion
its motion is oscillatory
the origin is at one extremity of its path

A point moves in a straight line so that its distance s from the origin at time t is given by the equation s=5+4sin2t + 3cos 2t. prove that
its acceleration varies as its distance from a fixed point in the line of motion
---
It doesn't.
-------
its motion is oscillatory
It is, it's SHM, simple harmonic motion
------------------
the origin is at one extremity of its path
It isn't.
