Study Notes
Free Oscillation and Simple Harmonic Motion
- Free oscillation is another term for undamped simple harmonic motion.
- Free oscillation sustains when there is no external damping force acting on the system.
- The presence of damping force can reduce the amplitude of oscillation over time, eventually bringing the system to rest.
- The natural frequency of vibration is inversely proportional to the damping factor, meaning that as the damping factor increases, the natural frequency decreases.
- The force acting on a particle in Simple Harmonic Motion is proportional to the displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position.
- Damping force has a dissipative effect on the system, reducing the amplitude of oscillation over time.
- The total energy of the system in damped motion decreases over time, eventually becoming zero.
