Damped oscillation

Question

What happens to the energy of a particle, in SHM, with time in the presence of damping forces?

Moderate

A

Stays constant
B

Decreases linearly
C

Decreases exponentially
D

Decreases cubically

Solution

Energy in presence of damping forces is given by: 1/2kA²e^-bt/m. This shows that kinetic energy decreases exponentially with time.
