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 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.


If a mass is attached to the side of a wheel and the wheel rotates back and forth without energy being lost is this Simple Harmonic Motion?

No. The situation is basically the same as with a simple pendulum. If it only moves back and forth over a small angle, it's a fairly good approximation of simple harmonic motion.

Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?

A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves

Is a bouncing ball an example of simple harmonic motion?

It is not an example of a simple harmonic motion. For a simple harmonic motion, the equilibrium point must be in the middle of the applitude. The object must oscillate about equalibrium point.
