Oscillation of cricket ball.

Oscillation Definition

It is the repetitive motion from central point. Or back and forth motion of any objects. When we leave a ball about a certain height, then ball begins to oscillate.
Another example of oscillations is:
1)    Heart Beat of Our Heart.
2)    Vibration of string in guitars, Violin
.


 The simple harmonic oscillator 



It is a weight connected to a spring subject to just weight and strain. This system is in a balance state when the spring is static.
When the spring is dislodged from the steady state, there is a net restoring force on the mass, having a tendency to take it back to original steady state. But mass acquired A momentum which let him moving beyond opposite steady state
This is called back and forth motion of object called oscillation.

Damped and driven oscillations

All real world oscillators are thermodynamically irreversible. Mean energy is loss by, Friction, sound or heat.
That is energy of oscillator is converted into heat .This is called damping.

When we leave a ball from certain height, then energy of ball is converted into heat and sound.
