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.

Precautions to be taken for the displacement method
finlep [7]

Volume by Displacement. The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

The following precautions should be taken very observantly:-

The line of sight must be perpendicular to measuring scale to avoid parallax error. Formation of bubbles inside the cylinder should be completely avoided. Any bubbles within leads to wrong measurements.

You are on a skateboard not moving when your friend throws you a basketball and you catch it. The 0.50kg basketball was going 5
Sidana [21]

Answer:

a. Your mass with the basketball is 55.5 kg

b. Your new velocity is 0.045 m/s

Explanation:

We first add your weight and the basketballs weight to get 55.5 kg.

Then to find b. we use the equation: v final = (m1 * v1) / (m1 +m2)

So m1 is the basketball which is 0.5 kg and v1 is 5 m/s. So the top half is (0.5 * 5)

The bottom half is just our weights added together.

A baby stroller is a rest on top of a hill which is 10 m high. The stroller and baby have a mass of 20 kg. What is the potential
Anettt [7]

The potential energy is defined as the energy is contained in the body due to the height over the surface of the earth and it is calculated from the equation

PE=mgh

<em>where:</em>

  • PE: the potential energy in Joules.
  • m: the mass of the body in kg.
  • g: the acceleration due to the gravity in m/s^2
  • h: the height of the body over the earth in meters.

<em>in our problem:</em>

PE=20*9.8*10=1960 J

What are 2 way X-rays and radio waves are different
Kaylis [27]
There are two main points that should be emphasized about the different types of electromagnetic radiation. The sequence from longest wavelength (radio waves) to shortest wavelength (gamma rays) is also a sequence in energy from lowest energy to highest energy

hope this helps you!✌
