A particle oscillating under a force `vecF=-k vecx- b vec v` is a (k and b are constants)

A

linear oscillator`

B

damped oscillator

C

forced oscillator

D

simple harmonic oscillator

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A particle oscillating under a force `vecF=- k vec x- b vecv` is a damped oscillator. The first term `- kvecx` represents the resotring force and second term `-b vecv` represents the damping force.
