They absorb the energy of seismic waves.

Explanation:

Base - isolators, rubber and steel pads under buildings reduces earthquake damage by absorbing the energy of seismic waves.

Earthquakes are produced by the sudden release of energy within the earth which causes displacement and sharp movement on earth surface.
There are four main types of waves that are propagated by seismic waves which wrecks havoc.
Understanding the waves and their properties has been useful in designing earthquake resistant structures.
Base-isolators, rubber and steel pads helps to absorb seismic waves.
When seismic waves are absorbed, they are cut off.
This way they cannot cause damage.

The total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

The given parameters;

First displacement of the car, = 5 cm left
Second displacement of the car, = 8 cm right
Third displacement of the car, = 3 cm to the left

The total displacement of the car is calculated as follows;

Let the left direction be "negative direction"
Let the right direction be "positive direction"

$\Delta x = - \ 5\ cm \ + \ 8 \ cm \ - \ 3 \ cm \\\\\Delta x = 0$

Thus, the total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.
