Question

Which are the characteristics of damped vibrations?

Options

• There amplitude gradually decreases with time.

• There is a progressive loss of energy with each vibration.

• The frictional forces act on them in the direction opposite to the motion of vibrations.

• All of these

Answer 1

All of these

Explanation:

Damped vibrations lose energy because of opposing frictional forces. As a result, their amplitude gradually decreases with time, so all three statements are correct.
