    Position vector of a particle is \[r=3\cos \omega \,t\,\hat{i}+4\sin \omega \,t\,\hat{j}\]Now, choose the correct option.

    A) Particle moves along circular path

    B) Particle moves along parabolic path

    C) Particle moves along elliptical path

    D) Particle moves along straight line

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Position of particle is\[r=3\cos \omega t\,\hat{i}+4\sin \omega t\,\hat{j}\]
    So,\[x=3\cos \omega t,y=4\sin \omega t\]we have \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{x}{3}=\cos \omega t,\]\[y=4\sin \omega t\]
    So, we have \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}={{\cos }^{2}}\omega t+{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t\] or     \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}=1\]
    This is an ellipse.
