Flashcards

Oscillatory motion

Motion where displacement follows a sine or cosine pattern.

Critically damped motion

Motion with strongest damping that returns to rest quickly without oscillation.

Heavily damped motion

Slow return to equilibrium without oscillations due to high damping.

Overdamped motion

Motion where system returns to equilibrium slowly without oscillating.
