This set of tutorial materials covers the topic of damped harmonic oscillators. Students examine qualitatively the motion of a mass on a damped spring using mathematical and graphical tools. Energy loss and work done by external forces are considered. Materials include tutorial activities, assessments, and notes for the instructor.
This is part of a large collection of similar tutorial materials in intermediate classical mechanics.
