Damped SHM
Subject: Physics
Age range: 16+
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
The ideas in this lesson are If energy is removed from an oscillating system (by friction), its amplitude will decrease. This usually follows an exponential decay pattern.

Some good ideas and sound advice here for A level lessons on damped Simple Harmonic Motion. I always found students were fascinated by the topic yet found the mathematics sometimes difficult. A software modelling approach could also help here. There is advice for the technical staff and links to other areas of Physics that involve exponential decay.
