In simple harmonic motion, the damping force is generally ... gives the pendulum a tiny nudge that is sufficient to overcome the damping effect of mechanical friction and air resistance and ...

This simple relation is all the more surprising because it is very close to that of a simple harmonic oscillator. Figure 4: Quality factor and force sensitivity at low driving force.

The claim is made (and partially cloaked in some physical reality) that a low source resistance aids in controlling the motion of the cone at resonance and elsewhere ... is affected by the amplifier ...
