EzraSimple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. Practical examples include a swinging pendulum or a mass-spring system. Periodic motion, on the other hand, refers to any repeated motion that follows the same path at regular intervals, such as the motion of a wheel rotating. So, while all simple harmonic motion is periodic, not all periodic motion is necessarily simple harmonic.

What is that motion which is periodic but not harmonic?
The motion of a pendulum is periodic but not necessarily harmonic if the amplitude of the oscillation is large enough to cause deviations from simple harmonic motion due to gravitational forces.
What is harmonic perturbation?
Harmonic perturbation refers to a periodic external force or disturbance applied to a system that is close to its natural harmonic frequency. This perturbation can affect the behavior of the system, causing resonance or other dynamic responses that are not present in the absence of the perturbation. Understanding and analyzing harmonic perturbation is important in various fields such as physics, engineering, and biology.
Examples of minerals on the periodic table?
None present. Periodic table lists elements, not minerals.
What are the obvious differences between the elements on either side of the periodic table?
Gases and metals
What are some examples of stable elements and where are they found in the periodic table?
noble elements are the stable elements. They are found in group 18 in the periodic table.
