Critically Damped Oscillators: The Shocking Physics Behind Shocks

Summary: In my learning objective, I examine the workings of a critically damped oscillator in the form of a bike shock. I begin by outlining what an oscillator is, and how damped and undamped oscillators differ. I then focus on the mathematics behind damped oscillators, before exploring the mathematics behind a critically damped oscillator (a bike shock).
