    How does friction affect the energy and motion of a damped spring-mass system?

    Young and Freedman book Chapter 13 Periodic Motion: In the third papargraph, the author writes that since a damped oscillator naturally vibrates a frequency of omega-prime, then we expect that an application of a driving force with omega close to omega-prime will cause the amplitude to become...

    Impedance of an RLC series circuit when in resonance

    I don't find my notes right now, I'll try to use my memory on this. According to my notes, the impedance of an RLC series circuit is given by \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2+\left ( \omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\right )^2 }}. So when in resonance, Z=\frac{1}{R} instead of Z=R. Also if I recall well, for...
