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.
The correct option is (A) decays exponentially.
Explanation:
Energy dissipated in a damped oscillation decays exponentially as
E = Eo e–λt.
