Which description depicts a periodic scenario?

Question

A. Height of child jumping on bed
B. Height of leaf as it falls from tree
C. Height of flag on a pole
D. Altitude of plane as it takes off

Answer 1

A. Height of child jumping on bed

This describes a periodic scenario because the height of the child will oscillate up and down regularly as they jump on the bed, creating a repeating cycle. The other options (height of leaf falling, height of flag on a pole, and altitude of a plane taking off) do not depict periodic behavior.
