Study Notes
Types of Motion
- Simple harmonic motion is both periodic and bounded.
Oscillatory Motion
- The basic characteristic of an oscillatory motion is that it repeats itself after a certain time interval.
Free Oscillations
- Free oscillations or vibrations are oscillations that take place in the absence of any external force.
Restoring Force
- The purpose of a restoring force in oscillatory motion is to bring the object back to its original position.
Periodic vs Oscillatory Motion
- Periodic motion is a motion that repeats itself after a certain time interval, but it does not necessarily involve a return to the original position.
- Oscillatory motion is a type of periodic motion that involves a return to the original position.
