More differences between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion with practical examples?
because we see that in simple harmonic motion there are trignometric function from which we can define its equation of motion. now we know that these function are periodically but bounded to some conditions that's why all periodic function can not be simple harmonic motions.
Is the motion of the celling fan a periodic motion?
if a motion repeats it self after equal intervals of time it is called a periodic motion, if u understand this definition u will know that a fan is undergoing the periodic motion as if of its blades in proper words the blades of an electric fan is a periodic motion
Is up and down motion of a leaf in a pond is simple harmonic motion?
IF the leaf is going up and down because a wave with constant wavelength is passing by, THEN the leaf is executing simple harmonic vertical motion.
20 examples of periodic motion?
20 examples of periodic motion: Ceiling fan Heart beats Clock Moon moving around the earth Child swinging on a swing Ferris wheel going round and round Jumping up and down on a bed Waves Guitar string Vibrating Teeter-totter
Can a body in motion can never have zero average velocity?
While a body in motion cannot have zero average velocity, there are many examples where the average velocity - after selected intervals - is zero. For example: a pendulum, or any object under simple harmonic motion, after a complete number of cycles; a rotating object (point on a wheel or hand of a clock) after a whole number of circuits.

What is the difference between shmand non shm?
The difference between simple harmonic motion and harmonic motion is SHM is a periodic motion.
Can every oscillatory motion be treated as simple harmonic motion in the limit of small amplitude?
No. Simple harmonic motion requires that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement (and in the opposite direction). It is possible to have periodic motion where that is not the case.
What is the difference between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion?
A periodic motion is any motion that repeats itself with a fixed period. It can be anything from the motion of a comet around the sun to stamping your foot on the floor. It just has to happen repeatedly and the same motion at the same time intervals. Simple harmonic motion is a very special motion. In the purest form, one only uses this term when the motion can be described a varying sinusoidally, i.e. like a sine or cosine function. The motion then has one frequency and one period. The oscillation of spring with a weight is a good real world approximation to this idealized idea of simple harmonic motion. Staying with the strict terminology one will sometimes allow for harmonic overtones in a motion and use the term, "harmonic motion." In other words, like a guitar string, when plucked it has a basic frequency but may also include multiples of that frequency. Still, it has a fixed period. Usually the language is more relaxed and if something is simple harmonic motion it is sometimes merely called harmonic motion. Conversely, though it is not entirely correct, you will hear it said that a guitar string give a pure tone and exhibits simple harmonic motion when that is not strictly true. So, there is a hierarchy of terminology. If you say something is oscillating, or is oscillatory, you are saying something weak, that it repeats itself on a more or less regular basis. Even things like glacier formation can be said to be oscillatory. If the process is periodic, then you can count on it repeating itself on a precise and regular basis and the time for that repetition is the period. Comets were an earlier example, but the motion of a pendulum is periodic and rotation of the wheel on a car at a constant speed is periodic. All periodic motion is also oscillatory in the sense of repeating in time. (One does not normally call circular motion oscillatory only because it is such a highly specialized form of periodic motion, but technically it is periodic.) Harmonic motion means that the time evolution process is described well by a sinusoidal variation. If it is harmonic, then it is also periodic and oscillatory. It is not common to be so precise as to whether only one frequency of sine wave is needed for harmonic motion or perhaps several multiples of the basic frequency. If it is several, it is harmonic and period and oscillatory but it is not simple harmonic. There is a grey area as to whether one should call some motions harmonic with several frequencies or merely periodic. If it takes more than a few frequencies, then it is usually complicated enough to lose the characterization of harmonic, but it is still periodic. Simple harmonic motion is a pure thing and hence an idealization. A pure pitch of sound may be said to be a simple harmonic motion of the air waves. A pure color of light results from a perfect sinusoidal (and hence simple harmonic) variation of electromagnetic fields. A bouncing weight attached to an ideal spring moves in simple harmonic motion. If it is not a simple sine or cosine description, then it is not simple harmonic. If it is simple harmonic, then it is harmonic and if harmonic, periodic and if periodic, oscillatory. Recognize that careful scientific use of these terms is different than casual use in the general language.
What is simple hormonic motion?
Did you mean harmonic motion? Harmonic motion is periodic motion controlled by a force that delays movement in proportion to the amount of displacement that comes from an balanced position. An example with be a pendulum that swings back and forth.
What is simpe garmonic motion?
Simple harmonic motion, In mechanics and physics, is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. A good example of this is a pendulum.
Simple harmonic motion?
a motion that repeats itself in equal intervals of time is known as periodic motion.simple harmonic motion is also a particular example of SHM because it repeats itself in equal of time.In mass_spring system,the mass performs SHM.
Is uniform circular motion a simple harmonic motion?
Simple Harmonic motion is circular motion. Look at a graph showing simple harmonic motion... you'll see it.
How do you use periodic functions in oscillation?
Many oscillations are simple harmonic motions and such motion can be represented by a sine (or equivalently, cosine) curve.
Can you say circular motion is a harmonic motion?
No. "Simple harmonic motion" is motion in a single dimension; it can be represented as the projection of a uniform circular motion.
