AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given options represents periodic motion but is not oscillatory, we need to understand the definitions of periodic motion and oscillatory motion. ### Definitions: 1. **Periodic Motion**: This is motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time. For example, the motion of a pendulum or the revolution of a planet. 2. **Oscillatory Motion**: This is a specific type of periodic motion where the object moves back and forth about a mean position. Examples include the swinging of a pendulum or the vibration of a guitar string. ### Given Options: ...
