Can a motion be oscillatory , but not simple harmonic. If your answer is yes , give an explanation and if not explain why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, when a ball is dropper from a height on a perfectly elastic surface, the motion is oscillatory but not simple harmonic as restoring force F = mg = constant and not `F prop-x,` Which is an essential condition for S.H.M.
