(c) may move on the X-axis
(d) may move on the Y-axis.

EXPLANATION:  

Mechanical waves are either transverse or longitudinal. In the transverse wave, the particles will move on Y-axis while in the longitudinal wave the particles will move on X-axis. So the particles of the medium may move on the X-axis or it may move on the Y-axis depending upon the nature of the wave.

A body is uniformly rotating about an axis fixed in an inertial frame of reference. Let A be a unit vector along the axis of rotation

(c) 0 Explanation:  Since the body is uniformly rotating, the resultant force on the particle P will be in the radial direction. So again the directions of A and B will be...
