1.2 free oscillations. forced oscillations.

Question 1

how many types of oscillations exists? which ones.

Answer 1

there are 2: forced and free ones.

Question 2

which ones are forced oscillations?

Answer 2

oscillations that occur under the action of periodic external forces.

Question 3

which ones are the free oscillations?

Answer 3

oscillations that occur without the action of external periodic forces.

Question 4

what are the free oscillations called?

Answer 4

damped oscillations.

Question 5

Why does the amplitude of free oscillations decrease?

Answer 5

due to the action of frictional forces, the oscillations are damped.

Question 6

give me an example of a damped oscillation.

Answer 6

for example, the oscillations of a pendulum removed from the equilibrium position are damped due to air resistance.

Question 7

What happens when the resistance is low? when is the damping noticed?

Answer 7

the damping is only noticed after it performs several oscillations.
