Periodic Motion


 
 
Concept Explanation
 

Periodic Motion

Periodic motion: A type of motion that repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion. Example of objects undergoing periodic motion are the to and fro motion of a pendulum, the earth (rotating on its axis), the hands of a clock.

Non- periodic motion: A motion that does not repeat itself at regular intervals or a motion that does not repeat itself at all is called non- periodic motion. Example of non- periodic motion are a car moving on a road, a bird gliding across the sky, and children playing in a park. In everyday life, we observe more than one type of motion, like

·         Birds gliding across the sky (translational and non- periodic)

·         Rotation of the earth on its axis (rotational and periodic)
