When periodic motion and oscillatory motion have restoring force and simple harmonic motion also have restoring force then how we can differentiate them?

Open in App

Solution

Dear student

periodic motion may not be oscillatory

oscillatory motion may not be periodic (damped oscillations)

If periodic motion is oscillatory, it has a fixed period

Some oscillatory motions may be periodic

If both have restoring force, both may be of same category .
