Is an oscillating system stable?
A stable system may also oscillate, however it will oscillate in a decreasing manner (i.e. the amplitude will always drop). In an unstable system, the amplitude (may or may not oscillate) but the amplitude will increase with time (at least for some time until in some real life systems a limit is reached).
What causes a system to oscillate?
To become an oscillating system, it is necessary for at least one of the variables to change and repeatedly return to the same value. The most important feature of the system is that its variables should interact with each other in such a way that repeated oscillations are generated.
What is interesting about oscillating system?
Oscillating Systems
An oscillating system is an object that moves back and forth, repeatedly returning to its initial state after a period of time. At the equilibrium point, no net forces are acting on the object. This is the point in the pendulum swing when it's in a vertical position.
