Question:medium
Which one of the following motions is not simple harmonic motion?
Which one of the following motions is not simple harmonic motion?
Show Hint
Logic Tip: All Simple Harmonic Motions are periodic, but not all periodic motions are Simple Harmonic. Uniform circular motion and rotation are the most common examples of periodic, non-oscillatory (and thus non-SHM) motions.
