the law of conservation of energy? What are the dampening properties of a real mass-spring system that vibrates vertically? Hypothesis If a real vibrating spring suspended vertically undergoes damped harmonic motion‚ then it will support the law of conservation of energy because the energy at all points of the motion is equal. Even though the total amount of mechanical energy decreases over time‚ the other energy is not lost‚ but instead becomes thermal energy. This thermal energy is produced
