Question
Which of the following functions of time represent (a) simple harmonic, (b) periodic but not simple harmonic, and (c) non-periodic motion? Give period for each case of periodic motion ($\omega$ is any positive constant): $1+\omega\text{t}+\omega^2\text{t}^2$

Answer

The given function $1+\omega\text{t}+\omega^2\text{t}^2$ is non-periodic.

Suppose we define a quantity 'Linear Pomentum' as linear pomentum = mass × speed. The linear pomentum of a system of particles is the sum of linear pomenta of the individual particles. Can we state a principle of conservation of linear pomentum as ''linear pomentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it?''
