Question

An oscillatory motion is always periodic but a periodic motion is not oscillatory. Explain the statement with an example

Answer 1

Answer:

Periodic motion is that motion which repeats itself after equal intervals of time. ... A periodic motion may or may not be oscillatory. For example, the motion of planets around the Sun is always periodic but not oscillatory. The motion of the pendulum of a clock is periodic as well as oscillatory.

Mark me as brainlist.

Answer 2

ANSWER

Oscillatory motion means to and fro motion or back and forth motion.

For example motion of a pendulum etc.

Periodic motion is the motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time.

Now, oscillatory motions always repeat after certain interval of time, thus they are periodic motion are not oscillatory. Like motion of planets around sun is periodic as because it repeats itself after sometime but can't be said to perform to and fro motion so they are not oscillatory motion.
