Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A vibrating system when displaced from its neutral position oscillates about this position with a frequency characteristic of the system - the natural frequency of the system. The amplitude decays gradually ... until the energy supplied by the initial displacement has been expended into the medium. These vibrations are called free vibrations. 4, record 2, English, - natural%20frequency
