Misconceptions
the larger
the drive, the sooner the natural component is removed.
with
little damping, only the drive acts to shape the motion.
when the
oscillation frequency equals the drive frequency, there is no
damping.
with
damping, the object will continue to oscillate only if the
drive frequency is set to the natural frequency.

Insights
the
damping depends on velocity and doesn't act until the system
is in motion.
since the
drive acts over time, the motion is natural until the drive
has a chance to shape it.
motion at
the drive frequency lasts a long time because drive energy is
continually fed into the system to counter the damping loss.
