Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Peaking

👉 In physics, the term "peaking" refers to a specific phenomenon observed when an object oscillates in response to a periodic force. The object's kinetic energy reaches its maximum at this point of motion, and then it begins to decrease again due to frictional forces acting on it. This phenomenon occurs when the applied force is constant over time, which means that the applied force does not change with time. As a result, the oscillation will become more steady as the object's mass decreases.
