Simple Harmonic Motion

Which of the following is not an example of observed periodic motion?

• a car driving down a straight road
• the rotation of a wheel
• a playground swing
• ocean waves

The "period" is

• the time that it takes a complete cycle or wave oscillation to occur.

• the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time.

• the rate of vibration within a wave pattern.
