Question

An initial amplitude k, damping constant c, and frequency f or period p are given. (Recall that frequency and period are related by the equation f=1 / p.)

(a) Find a function that models the damped harmonic motion. Use a function of the form y=kectsinωty=k e^{-c t} \sin \omega t in Exercises given below.

(b) Graph the function.

k=1,c=1,p=1k=1, \quad c=1, \quad p=1

If the equation describing the displacement yy of an object at time tt is

y=kectsinωty=ke^{-ct}\sin\omega t         or         y=kectcosωty=ke^{-ct}\cos\omega t ,     (c>0)(c>0)

then the object is in damped harmonic motion\fbox{damped harmonic motion}.

The constant cc is the damping constant, kk is the initial amplitude, and 2π/ω2\pi/\omega is the period.
