periodic motion

Periodic motion refers to a movement that repeats itself at regular intervals over time. Examples include the swinging of a pendulum or the rotation of a wheel. In such motion, an object moves back and forth or around a fixed point in a consistent pattern, returning to its starting position after a specific period. The key features are the repetition, regularity, and predictability of the motion. This type of motion is fundamental in nature and technology, governing systems like clocks, musical instruments, and biological rhythms, illustrating the harmony and order found in many natural and human-made processes.
