An analytical expression of the function modulating the amplitude of soliton velocity perturbations for the sine-Gordon equation with a uniform external harmonic force and dissipation is derived. The evolution of the soliton velocity for the external force in the form of a step function of time is examined. An analytical expression for the time-averaged soliton velocity is obtained.
