Question

differentiate between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion​

Answer 1

Answer:

Periodic motion= it occurs when a body moves repeatedly on the same path in equal interval of time.

Simple harmonic motion = it is a linear periodic motion in which the acceleration is proportional to the displacement from an equilibrium position and is directed towards the equilibrium position.

Answer 2

Explanation:

simple harmonic motion is an important topic in the study of mechanics. the main difference between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion is that period motion refers to any type of repeated motion whereas simple harmonic motion (SHM) refers to a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement.
