In a moving car, does the wheel shows periodic motion? If yes then why?


Periodic Motion- A motion which repeats itself in equal intervals of time.

The motion of the wheels of a car is periodic because the wheels rotate in a circular motion, and circular motion is a type of periodic motion. Also, when the wheel starts from the rest and completes a set of movements after which it will return to its rest position. This set of movements repeats itself in equal intervals of time to perform the periodic motion.
