5.5.150 - Energy conservation in oscillating systems

Understand how to apply conservation of energy to damped and undamped oscillating systems.

Use - energy conservation in oscillating systems to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - energy conservation in oscillating systems determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - energy conservation in oscillating systems to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Energy conservation in oscillating systems is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
