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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, when a ball is thrown from a height on a pefectly elastic plane surface the motion is oscillating but not simple harmonic as force is not proportional to displacement.
