Damped waves — an energy that decreases

Let u(x,t)u(x,t) be the solution of the initial-boundary value problem

utt−uxx+ut=0,0<x<π,t>0,u(0,t)=u(π,t)=0,t>0,u_{tt}-u_{xx}+u_t=0, 0<x<\pi, t>0,\qquad u(0,t)=u(\pi,t)=0, t>0,

u(x,0)=sin⁡x,ut(x,0)=0,0<x<π.u(x,0)=\sin x, u_t(x,0)=0, 0<x<\pi .

For t≥0t\ge0, define E(t)=∫0π(ut2+ux2)dxE(t)=\int_0^{\pi}\left(u_t^2+u_x^2\right)\mathrm{d}x. Then which of the following statements are true?
