Question

What is Oscillatory Motion? Is it similar to Linear Motion?​

Answer 1

Oscillatory motion is one in which the body repeats its movements with a fixed time period. The movement of the body passes to and from from one extreme position to the mean position to the other extreme position and then retraces the path back to the first extreme position.

The repeated back and forth movement about the rest position is called oscillatory motion. When a body moves along a straight line, it is said to be linear or rectilinear motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of an object from its mean position.No, it is not similar.Linear motion involves an object moving from one point to another in a straight line.
