Yes, but it involves a second order differential equation. Using the mass, spring constant and damping constant any physical object or assembly's damping ratio can be calculated. In the design of the vehicle the damping ratio was determined by the engineers at the automaker depending on the type of car. A sports car would have a higher damping ratio (maybe 0.7 or so) than a cushy luxury car. Over time the damping ratio will change as the components age. The most obvious is the bouncy feeling when you don't replace your struts or shocks as intended. That's when your tight sports car's suspension starts to behave like a 70's Buick. You just lowered your damping ratio without knowing it.

What is the example of damp oscillation?

An example of damp oscillation is when a car's suspension system absorbs the energy from bumps on the road, causing the car to bounce up and down in a controlled manner before coming to rest. The damping effect reduces the oscillations over time, preventing the car from continually bouncing.

What does the speedmater of a car show?

A calculation of the vehicle's speed based on the gear ratio the transmission is in, the rear end gear ratio, and the RPMs of the engine and input shaft. If you change your rear end gears (e.g., when putting in a lft kit and installing larger tires), you need to have the speedometer adjusted, as well.
