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.

A tiger started running when it saw a deer running at uniform velocity 2m/s at 15m far from it ..if the tiger ran at acceleratio
Masteriza [31]
You need to set their position functions equal to one another and so for the time t when that is true. That is when the tiger and the deer are in the same place meaning the tiger catches the dear
Xdear= 2t+15 deer position function.
(I integrated the velocity function )
To get the Tigers position function you must integrate the acceleration twice. This becomes
Xtiger=t^2
Now t^2=2t+15
Time t is when the tiger catches the deer
t^2-2t-15=0
(t-5)(t+3)=0 factored
t=5s is the answer you use (t=-3 is a meaningless solution)

Answer:C (198 seconds)

Explanation: The cyclist makes the first lap in (180.00 - 6.00) = 174.00 seconds. The average time per lap for all three circuits is (600.00 - 6.00) = 594/3 = 198 seconds.

A 4.4 kg marble (really big heavy marble) is accelerating down an incline. When it reaches level ground it slows down to a stop
KengaRu [80]

#A

Mass=4.4kg

acceleration=-1.74m/s^2

Use newtons second law

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=ma

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=4.4(-1.74)

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=-7.656N

#B

initial velocity=u

Final velocity=v=0

Acceleration=a=-1.74m/s^2

Time=t=1.27s

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=v-at

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=0-(-1.74)(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=1.74(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=2.2m/s

What about the atomic model shown below was shown incorrect?
charle [14.2K]
In an atom there are neutrons, protons and electrons. the number of protons is the atomic number . the number of neutron is the atomic mass minus atomic number. the number of electrons is the number of protons.protons and neutrons are located in the middle of the atom. and in the first ring (the ring closest to the middle) it can hold 2 electrons if there is more than two it will go to the second ring (the second ring from the middle of the atom) in the second ring it can hold eight if there is more than eight it will go to the third ring from the middle and the forth ring from the middle can hold 12 atoms . the symbol for proton = +
the symbol for neutron = it has no symbols
the symbol of electron = - .
