Question
The energy dissipated in a damped oscillation..........(A) decays exponentially(B) decay curve will depend on the drag constant(C) decays linearly(D) decays following a sine curve with diminishing amplitude.
Step 1
Step 1: The energy dissipated in a damped oscillation is given by the equation $E = E_0 e^{-\lambda t}$, where $E_0$ is the initial energy, $\lambda$ is the damping constant, and $t$ is time. Show more…

Oscillations
A simple pendulum stops oscillating after a number of oscillations. Which statement is TRUE? A. The total energy of the pendulum is constant. B. The amplitude of oscillation decreases exponentially. C. The displacement of the pendulum decreases exponentially. D. The maximum speed of the pendulum remains unchanged.
A simple pendulum oscillates in air with time period $T$ and amplitude $A$. As the time passes : (a) $T$ and $A$ both decrease (b) $T$ increases and $A$ is constant (c) $T$ remains same and $A$ decreases (d) $T$ decreases and $A$ is constant
