A falling ball undergoes elastic collision with the ground and repeate

1.	A falling ball undergoes elastic collision with the ground and repeatedly rebounds to the same light long the same path. Is the motion of the ball simple harmonie?
Answer» SOLUTION :No. It is not simple harmonic motion since the ACCELERATION is not VARYING with displacement. It is moving under acceleration DUE to gravity, a constant at the GIVEN place.
