Consider the damped oscillator illustrated in Figure $15.20 .$ The mass of the object is 375 $\mathrm{g}$ , the spring constant is $100 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m},$ and $b=0.100 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m} .$ (a) Over what time interval does the amplitude drop to half its initial value? (b) What If? Over what time interval does the mechanical energy drop to half its initial value? (c) Show that, in general, the fractional rate at which the amplitude decreases in a damped harmonic oscillator is one-half the fractional rate at which the mechanical energy decreases.
Consider the damped oscillator illustrated in Figure 13.19. Assume that the mass is $375 \mathrm{~g}$, the spring constant is $100 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$, and $b=0.100 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$. (a) How long does it takes for the amplitude to drop to half its initial value? (b) How long does it take for the mechanical energy to drop to half its initial value? (c) Show that, in general, the fractional rate at which the amplitude decreases in a damped harmonic oscillator is one-half the fractional rate at which the mechanical energy decreases.
