1)
no all periodic motion is not simple harmonic
eg :
: sunrise sunset,pattern of day,weather,moon cycle are periodic but not simple harmonic,
and also,
a pendulum that is started from a large angle is periodic but not simple harmonic...
simple harmonic motion means that the restoring force is proportional to the displacement...
for a pendulum, this is approximately true for small angles of displacement, but for larger angles, the motion is more complicated to describe, so this is one such example
so i guess you now understand.!! thnks
2)
In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position it is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
The relevant equation:
a = -(2pi*f)2 x
where,
f-> frequency = 1/Period
x-> displacement
Negative signt denotes that a is directed towards the equilibrium position.
