→About Damped Oscillations
*Types of Damping:
**[[Light Damping|Lightly Damped]]: the [[amplitude]] decreases gradually over [[time]].
**[[Heavy Damping|Heavily Damped]]: the [[system]] returns to [[Equilibrium Position(Physics)|equilibrium]] without [[Oscillate|oscillating]].**[[Critical Damping|Critically Damped]]: the [[system]] returns to [[Equilibrium Position(Physics)|equilibrium]] in the shortest possible [[time]] without [[Oscillate|oscillating]].
*[[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.
