\nAll the simple harmonic motions are necessarily periodic motions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nPeriodic motion is defined as any motion that repeats itself in a regular interval of time. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a special type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts towards the equilibrium. Since SHM repeats itself at regular intervals (its period), it is always a periodic motion. However, not all periodic motions are SHM (e.g., a simple pendulum with large amplitude is periodic but not SHM; a uniform circular motion is periodic but not oscillatory\/SHM).
\n<\/section>\n
\nSHM is characterized by a sinusoidal variation of displacement, velocity, and acceleration with time. Examples include the oscillation of a mass on a spring (Hooke’s Law) or the small-angle oscillations of a simple pendulum.
