Motion of a ball bearing inside a smooth fixed bowl, when released from a point slightly above the lower point is (A) simple harmonic motion. (B) non-periodic motion. (C) periodic motion. (D) non-oscillatory motion

Options

  1. AA, C
  2. BB, D
  3. CC, D
  4. DNone

Correct answer

A. A, C

Step-by-step solution

- Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM): When the ball bearing is released from a point slightly above the lowest point in a smooth fixed bowl, it will oscillate about the lowest point. The motion is characterized by a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position (the lowest point). Therefore, this motion can be considered simple harmonic motion. - Periodic Motion: The motion of the ball bearing is also periodic because it repeats itself in a regular interval as it moves back and fo
