Oscillatory motion 1

The movement of a swing is known as .................

• transitional motion

• oscillatory motion

• wave motion

• circular motion

All of the following are examples of oscillatory motion except ......................

• motion of spring

• motion of tuning fork

• motion of car

• motion of simple pendulum

The oscillating body moves at the two sides of its rest position, so its velocity ...................

• decreases when it goes far from its rest position

• increases when it goes far from its rest position

• remains constant

• will reach its minimum value when it passes its rest position

The amplitude of the simple pendulum is .................. of a complete vibration.

• four times

• quarter

• half

• double

The maximum displacement achieved by the oscillating body away from its rest position is ....................

• amplitude

• frequency

• periodic time

• complete oscillation

The complete oscillation includes ....................... displacement.

• one

• two successive

• three successive

• four successive

Amplitude is measured in metre.

• True

• False
