AI Generated Solution

To categorize the given motions as periodic or oscillatory, we will analyze each motion based on their definitions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Motion of planets around the sun**: - The planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and complete one full orbit in a fixed period of time (one year for Earth). - **Conclusion**: This motion is classified as **periodic motion** because it repeats after a fixed interval of time. ...
