Sketching Waveforms to represent Transient Responses

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenge of sketching waveforms to represent transient responses, specifically focusing on an equation labeled 'b' that has twice the frequency of the other equations. Participants express confusion regarding the implications of frequency differences in waveform representation. The conversation highlights the need for clearer course materials and effective tutoring to grasp these concepts. A related Physics Forums thread is suggested for further assistance.

Homework Statement
sketch, on a set of common axes, the waveforms to represent the transient response of circuits having transfer functions with the following parameters:

a) ζ = 0.5, ω = 1×10^3 rad s^-1
b) ζ = 0.2, ω = 2×10^3 rad s^-1
c) ζ = 2, ω = 1×10^3 rad s^-1
Relevant Equations
unsure
i am completely unsure on what is being asked by this question. i know the word sketch suggests a rough drawing and google shows up roughly what the waveforms should look like but what's thrown me off is the fact that the equation 'b' has twice the frequency as the other two. this is a topic that i am really struggling to grasp with my course notes not so good and my tutor slightly less than useless so any assistance would be greatly received.
