Differentiate Between Periodic and Non-Periodic Motion
The difference between periodic and non-periodic motion can be understood by the following table:
Periodic Motion |
Non-Periodic Motion |
---|---|
In periodic motion, the same path is followed after a fixed time interval. | In non-periodic motion, the path followed by the object is not fixed and can be random. |
The position of the object after a specific period of time can be guessed. | The position of the object after a specific period of time cannot be guessed. |
Examples: Oscillatory motion, Motion of planets around the sun, etc. | Examples: The motion of vehicles, the motion of bees, etc. |

What is Motion?
Motion is defined as the change in the position of an object with respect to time i.e. when an object changes its position according to time it is said to be in the state of motion. Everything in the universe is in a state of continuous motion, for example, the moon revolves around the planets, the planets revolve around the sun, the sun revolves around the center of the galaxies, and the galaxies are themselves expanding. Motion is in the syllabus of Class 9 and Class 11. Let’s learn about the motion in physics in detail in this article.
