a) periodic motion
b) simple harmonic motion
c) periodic but not simple harmonic motion
d) non-periodic motion
Answer:
The correct answers are
a) periodic motion
c) periodic but not simple harmonic motion
Explanation:
The earth rotates on its own axis in a circular motion that takes a regular length of time to complete one complete revolution. So it periodic.
However, motion does not revolve around a fixed point from which we can calculate its displacement or around which it moves on both sides, therefore it is not simple harmonic motion.
