Physics
Differentiate between periodic and non-periodic motions by giving an example of each.
Answer
| Periodic motion | Non-periodic motion |
|---|---|
| A motion which gets repeated after a regular interval of time is called a periodic motion. | The motion which does not repeat itself after a regular interval of time is called non-periodic motion. |
| Example — Pendulum of a wall clock repeats its motion after every 2 s. | Example — A footballer running on a field. |
