Answer to Question #195454 in Physics for Ahsan Ali

Question

Is every oscillatory motion execute simple harmonic motion? Explain your answer. Consider a spring-mass system in which particle execute simple harmonic motion and then estimate the acceleration, velocity, angular frequency and time period of that system.

Answer 1

No, not all oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion. From the equation, we can conclude that Simple harmonic motion is a special case of oscillatory motion.
