What does it mean when a car has resonance?
1 Answers
Resonance in a car refers to the phenomenon where the vehicle experiences intense body shaking when driving at a certain speed, as the vibration frequency of the car reaches the resonance frequency. It describes a physical system vibrating with greater amplitude at specific frequencies, known as resonance frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic vibrations can produce significant oscillations because the system stores kinetic energy. When resistance is minimal, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the system's natural or inherent frequency. Every car has a resonance point, and the speed at which resonance occurs varies. Generally, the higher the speed at which resonance occurs, the better the quality of the car is considered to be.
