The coordinates of a particle moving in a plane are given by $x = a\cos (pt)$ and $y(t) = b\sin (pt)$ where $a,\,\,b\,( < a)$ and $p$ are positive constants of appropriate dimensions. Then

  • [IIT 1999]
  • A

    The path of the particle is an ellipse

  • B

    The velocity and acceleration of the particle are normal to each other at $t = \pi /(2p)$

  • C

    The acceleration of the particle is always directed towards a focus

  • D

    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$
