Answer:

A damped oscillation means an oscillation that fades away with time while Forced oscillations occur when an oscillating system is driven by a periodic force that is external to the oscillating system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Damping is the reduction in amplitude (energy loss from the system) due to overcomings of external forces like friction or air resistance and other resistive forces. ... When a body oscillates by being influenced by an external periodic force, it is called forced oscillation.

Hope this helped
