A pendulum bob is projected horizontally from its lowest point with a speed just enough for a full vertical circle. Does its shadow on the ground execute SHM? What if the bob moves in a vertical circle at uniform speed? The shadow executes SHM:
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
The projection of uniform circular motion on a diameter is SHM. For the pendulum bob the speed changes along the circle, so the projection is periodic but not SHM.
