    "abstract": "A pedagogically instructive experimental procedure is suggested for\ndistinguishing between different damping terms in a weakly damped oscillator,\nwhich highclights the connection between non-linear damping and\ninitial-amplitude dependence. The most common damping terms such as contact\nfriction, air resistance, viscous drag, and electromagnetic damping have\nvelocity dependences of the form constant, v, or v^2. The corresponding energy\ndependences of the form \\sqrt{E}, E, or E\\sqrt{E} in the energy loss equation\ngive rise to characteristic dependence of the amplitude decay slope on the\ninitial amplitude.",
