PHY 104 Oscillatory Motion Objective Question

Question

The drag force exerted by air and liquids at low speed in a damped oscillation system can be expressed as:
Options
A F = -kx
B F = ma
C F = -bv
Correct Answer
D F = -mw²x
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 21, under 'The drag force exerted by air and liquids at low speed can be expressed as', states 'F = -bv', where b is the damping constant.

Hint

This force is typically proportional to the velocity of the object.
