Q

Factors affecting internal energy ( 3 )

A

Temperature - Particles move faster so have more kinetic energy.
Pressure and Volume- The closer the particles are to each other the more likely they are to collide.
State - When materials change state, volume will change so p.d will also change

An oscillation which a periodic driver is applied to an oscillator

39
Q

Natural frequency

A

The frequency of a free oscillation

40
Q

Damping

A

An oscillation is damped when an external forces acts on the oscillator which reduces the amplitude of oscillations.

41
Q

Heavy damping drastically changes the amplitude

42
Q

Resonance

A

The increase in amplitude of a forced oscillation when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency
