Solution

In physics, a motion that is repeated at equal intervals of time is called as periodic motion. Since the hands of a clock move accordingly at regular time intervals, they are known to exhibit periodic motion.

Since the clock hands move in a circular direction, they are said to be in circular or rotational motion.

Therefore, the clock hands are said to be in a periodic motion and circular or rotational motion.

In pendulum clocks, the pendulum sways across from one end to another. This is called as harmonic motion.

spinning of top is a rotational motion as it rotates about its own axis.
