Could someone please provide me with an example of a system where a mass is subject to an external forced vibration which depends on the velocity of the mass?

Could someone please provide me with an example of a system where a mass is subject to an external forced vibration which depends on the velocity of the mass?

Thank you

Doesnt terminal velocity work this way

osprey · Answer

Air resistance is such. The higher the speed of a particle, the more air resistance - I think. Terminal velocity, as already posted, could work this way.
Friction, also. Try rubbing your hands together slowly, and then quickly. Yum yum, you get warmer the faster you rub ?

issimplcalcus · Answer

You'd think friction would work that way but the heat generated is from the ideal gas law and the definition of work. It's force is unaffected by velocity.

My question was not clear, sorry.  The mass is a one degree of freedom system with forced vibration.  I'm going to edit my original question.

Vehicle suspension is one such system which aims to damp the forced vibration so that passengers feel comfortable.
