Question

current attempt in progress
an object on a spring is oscillating in simple harmonic motion. suddenly friction appears and causes the energy of the system to be dissipated. the system now exhibits ________.
○ driven harmonic motion
○ damped harmonic motion
○ hookes-law type of motion

Explanation:

• Driven harmonic motion requires an external driving force, which is not mentioned here.
• Hooke's - law type of motion is related to the force - displacement relationship (\(F=-kx\)) in simple harmonic motion without considering energy dissipation.
• Damped harmonic motion occurs when there is a dissipative force (like friction) that causes the energy of the system to decrease over time.

Answer:

damped harmonic motion
