Which of the following examples represent periodic motion?
- A swimmer completing one (return) trip from one bank of a river to the other and back
- A freely suspended bar magnet displaced from N-S direction and released.
- A hydrogen molecule rotating about its center of mass.
- An arrow released from a bow.
The Correct Option is B, C
Solution and Explanation
The correct options are: (b) and (c ).
The swimmer’s motion is not periodic. The motion of the swimmer between the banks of a river is back and forth. However, it does not have a definite period. This is because the time taken by the swimmer during his back and forth journey may not be the same.
The motion of a freely-suspended magnet, if displaced from its N-S direction and released, is periodic. This is because the magnet oscillates about its position with a definite period of time.
When a hydrogen molecule rotates about its centre of mass, it comes to the same position again and again after an equal interval of time. Such motion is periodic.
An arrow released from a bow moves only in the forward direction. It does not come backward. Hence, this motion is not a periodic.

- Two blocks of masses \( m \) and \( 2m \) are connected by a massless string which passes over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the system of blocks is released from rest, the speed of the centre of mass of the system of two blocks after a time of 5.4 s is (Acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms\(^{-2}\))
