What is the difference between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion?
Simple harmonic motion and periodic motion both are periodic motions, but the difference is that there should be variation above and below a fixed value alternately in a harmonic motion, but in...
What is the difference between vibratory motion and oscillatory motion?
vibratory means stationary with no motion, oscillatory means with uniform motion like pendulam.
What is the difference between harmonic and periodic motion?
Simple harmonic motion is what we might say is happening when an object is in some non-complex periodic way. That is, the object experiences a force that displaces it, the displacement occurs and...
