Best Answer

a body is said to be in oscillatory motion when it swings to and fro about a mean position. Ex a swing ,pedulam of a clock etc......

Are all oscillatory motions are periodic?

yes, all oscillatory motions are periodic but all periodic motions are not oscillatory.


Are all oscillatory motion periodic?

yes, all oscillatory motions are periodic but all periodic motions are not oscillatory.


Why a periodic motion may not be an oscillatory motion?

periodic motion is a motion of body wich repeats itself in equal intervals of time , but a oscillatory motion is a periodic motion which is about a mean position . so all periodic motions could not be a oscillatory motion , but all oscillatory motions are periodic in nature.


What is meant by oscillatory?

To-and-fro motion of an object about a fixed point is known as Oscillatory motion.


Can a motion be periodic and non oscillatory?

A motion can be both periodic (a repetitive function) and also be non-oscillatory due the condition that the motion (mechanical) occurs during a set time interval from t1 to (t1 + T); with T being the period. The non-oscillatory part happens when the motions fails to move or travel between two reference points during all the time periods, T. Examples are the vibrations of musical instruments, earth quakes, or shock absorbers. These things are examples of decaying waveforms.


Can the motion of a body be oscillatory but not periodic?

What is the difference between oscillatory and trepidatory earthquakes?

Oscillatory movement is either to and fro or side to side; trepidatory is up and down.


Is pendulum an example of oscillatory motion?

yes it is. as the weight of the string and gravitational force, etc is not considered it is an eg. of oscillatory motion


What is oscillatory solution in differential equations?

It happens when the solution for the equation is periodic and contains oscillatory functions such as cos, sin and their combinations.


What is the difference between vibratory motion and oscillatory motion?

vibratory means stationary with no motion, oscillatory means with uniform motion like pendulam.


Differences between vibratory and oscillatory motion?

In vibratory motion, the body doesn't move as a whole.where as in oscillatory motion the body moves on whole .and in vibratory motion the amplitude is less ,where as in the oscillatory motion the amplitude is comparitively larger than the vibratory motion .
