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?
