Your car rides on springs, so it will have a natural frequency of oscillation. (Figure 1) shows data for the amplitude of motion of a car driven at different frequencies. The car is driven at 29 mph over a washboard road with bumps spaced 12 feet apart; the resulting ride is quite bouncy.
1)Determine the frequency of the oscillation, caused by the bumps. 1 mile is 5280 feet.
2)Should the driver speed up or slow down for a smoother ride?


Sagot :

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

29 mile/hr * 5280 f/mile / 3600  s/hr = 42.53  ft/ sec

   42.53 ft / sec    /   12 feet =  3.54  cycles / sec = 3.54 Hz

      for frequency I suppose....where is the referred to figure?
