Question
A ball is dropped on a rigid floor and bounces back elastically. Will the ball execute simple harmonic motion?
Solution
No, the ball will not execute simple harmonic motion.
It is not necessary that the ball should move to and fro around it's mean position. So, it will not undergo simple harmonic motion.
