motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
If the surface is sticky the energy needed to break the "sticky" ionic bonds will not be able to contribute to the motion of the object rolling down the inclined surface.
The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.
This type of motion is called harmonic motion. This occurs when an object is attached to spring.
It is not an example of a simple harmonic motion. For a simple harmonic motion, the equilibrium point must be in the middle of the applitude. The object must oscillate about equalibrium point.

While a body in motion cannot have zero average velocity, there are many examples where the average velocity - after selected intervals - is zero. For example: a pendulum, or any object under simple harmonic motion, after a complete number of cycles; a rotating object (point on a wheel or hand of a clock) after a whole number of circuits.
When the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from a fixed point and always directed towards that fixed point then such an oscillation or vibration is said to be simple harmonic
If you tie a string to the end of a block and grab the end of the open string, moving your hand up and down, you will in effect, be creating a harmonic oscillation.
