Activity: Damped harmonic motion

Turns out oscillations don"t go on forever; they are damped. In this activity you will observe damped harmonic motion and learn how to define critical, light and over damping, as well as the Q factor (which will also be measured). There"s an opportunity to make an iterative model and a Geogebra simulation of damped harmonic motion based on the equation.
