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 meaning of Collision with curb?
The car has been in collision with the kerb at the side of the road Possiblly resulting in suspension and chassis damage being caused to the vehicle
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!
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)
What does rate mean in math term?
To compare to different units of measurement or a ratio that compares two quantities of different units (Ex: A car goes 100 miles in 1.5 hours, what is the rate)
