The x and y coordinates of a particle moving in a plane are given be x(t) = acos(pt) and y(t) = bsin(pt) where a, b (<a) and p are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and t is time. Then , which of the following is not true?

• The path of the particle is an ellipse

• Velocity and acceleration of the particle are perpendicular to each other at t = π/2p

A stick of length L and mass M lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. A ball of mass m moving with speed V collides elastically with the stick as shown in fig below. If after the collision, the ball comes to rest, then what should be the mass of the ball?

• m = 2M

• m = M

• m= M/2

• m = M/A
