Of course the power/energy must be dissipated somehow. Either the system is doing some work, or it's destroying itself. That is the output power.

In reply to the comment above, the system is a general 2nd order linear system, underdamped with 2 complex conjugate roots that imply oscillations.
The general form is: (1/wn^2)*d2x/dt +...
This is concerning a resonance effect in the linear 2nd order system (mechanical, electrical, etc), and my inability to account for some of the power/energy within the system. Does anyone care to...
