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 speed of a car that travels 2924 km in 43hrs?

68 km/hr Detailed calculation: Distance/ Time = Speed Here, distance= 2924 km time= 43 hrs Speed= 2924/43 = 68km/hr


Can you measure the speed of a car by ratio?

Yes. To do so, you will need your transmission gear ratios, your differential gear ratio and your tire circumference. You can derive the tire circumference by mutliplying its diameter by 3.1416 (pi).Example: At highway speed your RPM is 2000. Say your overdrive (5th gear) is 0.84:1, your differential gear ratio is 3.73:1 and your tire circumference for a P215/75R15 is 87". First divide the RPM by the first ratio (.84) which gives you 2380 RPMS. Then divide by the differential ratio of 3.73 gives you 638.3 RPM (Wheel speed). You speed is 87"x 638.3 = 55,532 inches per minute or 52.6 MPH.Hope that helps!


What is the average speed of a car from 0 to 10s?

The average speed of a car from 0 to 10 seconds can be calculated by taking the total distance traveled and dividing it by the total time taken. If the car accelerates uniformly from rest, you can use the formula for average speed, which is the final speed divided by 2. For example, if the car reaches a speed of 20 m/s at 10 seconds, the average speed would be 10 m/s. If more specific details about distance or acceleration are provided, a more precise calculation can be made.


A car took 3hrs to complete a 240 km trip what was its average speed?

Average Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance.In this case, the distance traveled is 240 km, and the time is 3hrs.You do the calculation. (your answer will have the unit km/hr)

Is car insurance included in the debt-to-income ratio calculation?

Car insurance is typically not included in the debt-to-income ratio calculation because it is considered a variable expense rather than a fixed debt obligation.


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.
