(N/A) When the speed of a vehicle increases,the frequency of the periodic impulses received from the rough road surface increases.
When this frequency matches the natural frequency of the vehicle's suspension system,the phenomenon of resonance occurs.
Due to resonance,the amplitude of the oscillations becomes very large,causing the vehicle to bounce significantly.
