The the Primary Purpose of the Shock Absorber in an Automobile

question 27

Essay

The the primary purpose of the shock absorber in an automobile is to control spring and suspension movement. This is accomplished by turning the kinetic energy of suspension movement into thermal energy to be dissipated through the hydraulic fluid. How is this similar to the automatic stabilizers of the economy. Why does neither of these necessarily imply a "smooth ride"?
