dynamic systems governed by second-order ordinary differential equations exhibit a “natural frequency” or does the term apply onlyfor undamped and underdamped systems that experience oscillatory behavior? Does it makesense that a mathematical definition of natural frequency exists without knowing if the systemwill oscillate? Can expressions for undamped natural frequency include dissipative terms? Thispaper presents a series of example problems in which these questions arise.Models and BehaviorMass-Spring-Damper Second-Order System Consider the classical lumped-parameter linear model of a mass-spring-damper system,depicted in Figure 1, with mass m, viscous damping b, linear stiffness k, and applied force F(t).

The study was designed to examine a) students’ attitudes toward researchpractices and b) whether supplemental instruction activities in information fluency wouldproduce measurable improvements in the students’ information fluency skills.
