C1 activity: Damped harmonic motion
Turns out oscillations don't go on forever; they are damped. In this activity you will observe damped harmonic motion and learn how to define critical, light and over damping, as well as the Q factor (which will also be measured). There's an opportunity to make an iterative model and a GeoGebra simulation of damped harmonic motion based on the equation. Damping In simple harmonic motion energy is continuously...
