A particle is subjected to two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions such that its x and y coordinates are given by x = 2 sin(ωt); y = 2sin(ωt + π/4). The path of the particle will be A. an ellipse B. a straight line C. a parabola D. a circle

Describe the motion of a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given interval. (For each answer, enter an ordered pair of the form x, y.) x = 6 + sin(t), y = 4 + 5 cos(t), π/2 ≤ t ≤ 2π The motion of the particle takes place on an ellipse centered at (x, y) = . As t goes from π/2 to 2π, the particle starts at the point (x, y) = and moves clockwise three-fourths of the way around the ellipse to (x, y) = .

The velocity of a particle moving in the $x$ - $y$ plane is given by $$ \frac{d x}{d t}=8 \pi \sin 2 \pi t \quad \text { and } \quad \frac{d y}{d t}=5 \pi \cos 2 \pi t $$ where $t=0, x=8$ and $y=0$. The path of the particle is: (a) a straight line (b) an ellipse (c) a circle (d) a parabola
