Systems are said to be over this if it is unable to complete one cycle, or critically this if there is no oscillation at all.
In order to explain the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, Alfred Lotka proposed that the intermediate species of the reaction exhibit this physical phenomenon. One way to measure this is given by the product of the reciprocal of the resistance and the square root of the inductance over the capacitance. This type of motion is modeled by the second term of the differential equation (mass times y double dot plus mu times mass time little g times the sign of y single dot plus k times y equals 0), where y stands for displacement. One way to visualize this phenomenon is to take the maximum N, and divide it by the maximum number N+1, and taking the log of that. That quantity, which helps to understand this phenomenon, is the (*) log-decrement. When this phenomenon is present, the power dissipated is equal to the time derivative of energy. Systems are said to be over this if it is unable to complete one cycle, or critically this if there is no oscillation at all. For 10 points, identify this physical effect which reduces the amplitude of a harmonic oscillator over time, usually caused by a non-conservative force.
