What are free oscillations and forced oscillations ?

Distinguish between (a) periodic and oscillatory motion (b) free oscillations and forced oscillations (c ) Damped and undamped oscillations

Define : Natural oscillations, free oscillation and forced oscillation.

Define free oscillation demped oscillation and forced oscillation.

Compare LC oscillations and a force damped oscillations in mechanics.

Shm - Forced Oscillations

Free & Forced Oscillations

Assertion: A child in a garden swing periodically presses his feet against the ground to maintain the oscillations. Reason: All free oscillations eventually die out because of the ever present damping force.
