MCQ
The rotation of earth about its axis is:
- APeriodic motion.
- BSimple harmonic motion.
- CPeriodic but not simple harmonic motion.
- ✓Both $A$ and $C$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $A$ and $C$
Rotation of earth about its axis repeats its motion after a fixed interval of lime, so its motion is periodic.
The rotation of earth is obviously not a to and fro type of motion about a fixed point, hence its motion is not an oscillation. Also this motion does not follow $\text{S.H.M}$ equation, $\text{a}\propto-\text{x}$
Hence, this motion is not a $\text{S.H.M.}$
