Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.

Weekend A Assignment Differentiate between forced and damped oscillation

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A damped oscillation means an oscillation that fades away with time while Forced oscillations occur when an oscillating system is driven by a periodic force that is external to the oscillating system.

Explanation:

Damping is the reduction in amplitude (energy loss from the system) due to overcomings of external forces like friction or air resistance and other resistive forces. ... When a body oscillates by being influenced by an external periodic force, it is called forced oscillation.
