damped oscillation

Question

Damping causes amplitude to:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

In real scenarios, oscillating systems lose energy to the surrounding environment (due to friction, air resistance, etc.). This energy loss causes the **amplitude of oscillation to decrease** continuously with time. The damping force is usually proportional to velocity ($F_{damp} = -bv$), leading to an exponential decay of the amplitude: $A(t) = A_0 e^{-(b/2m)t}$.
