x and ydisplacements of a particle are given asxt=a sin ⁡ωt and yt=a sin ⁡2ωt.Its trajectory will look like:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

∵   x=Asin⁡ωt   ⇒   sin ωt=xA

Also,cos ωt= 1-sin2⁡ωt= 1-x2A2 

⇒  cos⁡ ωt= A2-x2A

As,y=2Asin⁡ωtcos⁡ωt

⇒   y=2 AxA A2-x2A

⇒   y=2A   x A2-x2 

⇒   y=0   at   x=0   and   x= ± A

Which is possible only in option (C)
