**Resonance phenomenon** amplifies response when driving frequency matches natural frequency ω_d ≈ ω₀, large amplitude even with small F₀, as damping limits growth. Natural frequency determined by system parameters, resonance condition crucial for understanding vibrations and energy absorption, e.g., bridge collapse, tuning. Total energy: E = (1/2) k A² . 2.25 = 0.5 × 450 × A² ⇒ 2.25 = 225 A² ⇒ A² = 0.01 ⇒ A = 0.1 m . Applying x = A cos(ωt + φ), v = -ωA sin(ωt + φ), a = -ω²x and E = ½kA² = ½mω²A², result 0.1 m follows, reflecting SHM dependence on amplitude A, ω and system parameters.

**Damped oscillations** occur when resistive forces dissipate energy, amplitude decays exponentially as A(t) = A₀ e^(-b t/2m), b damping coefficient (kg/s), frequency slightly reduced ω' = √(ω₀² - (b/2m)²). Damping arises from friction or viscosity, energy loss per cycle proportional to velocity squared, motion eventually stops. Total energy: E = (1/2) k A² . 2 = (1/2) k (0.2)² ⇒ 2 = 0.02 k ⇒ k = (2/0.02) = 100 N/m .
