Question

Write true or false :

A ball thrown by a boy from a roof-top has oscillatory motion.

Open in App

Solution

The to and fro motion of a body from its mean position is called oscillatory motion.

The ball thrown from a rooftop isn’t an oscillatory motion because the ball when thrown from the roof doesn’t oscillate about any fixed point.

Hence, the statement is FALSE.
