Question

shock absorbers in automobiles are one particle example of (a) linear motion (b) simple harmonic motion (c) damped motion (d) random motion

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. linear motion is the correct answee for the above question

Answer 2

The right answer in the given question is option c: Damped motion.

• Damped motion is a sort of oscillatory motion in which the motion slows down and finally dissipates away over time.
• This damping oscillatory motion is the basis for shock absorbers in autos.
• When a car travels down the road, the surface is uneven and rough, resulting in a great deal of friction. In addition, the car's speed varies. When an automobile moves in this situation, it vibrates or moves up and down excessively.
• This type of motion can cause premature wear and tear on car parts, causing them to fail.
• As a result, shock absorbers absorb the vibrations caused on its parts and degrade with time, making the car ride safer.
• As a result, damped ocsillation can be seen in shock absorbers.
