6 Questions
What type of motion is characterized by the displacement varying sinusoidally or cosinusoidally?
Oscillatory motion
In the context of oscillations, what kind of motion is characterized by a critical point between underdamped and overdamped motion?
Critically damped motion
Which type of motion is associated with a slow return to equilibrium without oscillations?
Heavily damped motion
What term is used to describe motion where the damping force is so high that the system returns to equilibrium without oscillations?
Overdamped motion
Which type of motion is characterized by a vibration that dies out quickly without overshooting the equilibrium position?
Critically damped motion
What kind of motion involves repetitive back-and-forth movement around an equilibrium point?
Simple harmonic motion
