When a car hits a certain bump on the road, a shock absorber on the car is compressed a distance of 6 in., then released. The shock absorber vibrates in damped harmonic motion with a frequency of 2 cycles per second. The damping constant for this particular shock absorber is 2.8.#1) what's the difference between setting the entire function equal to .5 and just setting the coefficient equal to .5?#2) what happens if we increase the damping constant? if we decrease it? why?
