Consider a damped oscillator with p < No. There is a little difficulty defining the "period" r1 since the motion (5.38) is not periodic. However, a definition that makes sense is that r1 is the time between successive maxima of x (t). (a) Make a sketch of x (t) against t and indicate this definition

After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t 5 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v S 5 1.2 i ^ 2 9.8t j ^ where v S is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the
