Question

In an oscillatory motion friction effects ,changes the harmonic motion into periodic motion but how?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

Friction is a dissipative force, it makes the simple harmonic motion damped oscillatory motion and the relation between force and displacement does not remains F ∝ −x. But still the damped oscillatory motion is periodic.
