Which of the following statements is TRUE about periodic motion?
AIt always occurs along a straight line
BIt is the same as random motion
CIt has no fixed path
DIt repeats itself at regular time intervals
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand periodic motion
Periodic motion repeats itself at regular time intervals.
Step 2: Analyze options
Periodic motion can be along straight or curved paths, so not always straight line. It has a fixed path, unlike random motion. Random motion is irregular, unlike periodic.
Final Answer:
It repeats itself at regular time intervals → Option D
Quick Check:
Periodic motion = repeats at regular intervals ✅
Quick Trick:Periodic means repetition at fixed time intervals.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Confusing periodic motion with random or rectilinear motion.
