→About Damped Oscillations
*[[Resistive forces]] such as [[friction]] and [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] cause '''damping'''.
*The [[energy]] of the [[Oscillate|oscillating]] [[system]] is gradually [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] to the environment.
*'''Damping''' affects the [[Natural Frequency|natural frequency]] of the [[Oscillate|oscillating]] [[system]], causing it to decrease.
*The degree of '''damping''' determines how quickly the [[Oscillate|oscillations]] die out.
