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 deuterium atom is a hydrogen atom with a neutron added to its nucleus. Approximate the binding energy of this nucleus, given t

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

$= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV$

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered

Consider a particle with unit charge q, and mass m, in a constant magnetic field B directed along the positive z–axis. The parti

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Explanation:

Magnetic field is along z axis while velocity is in x-z plane

so we will have

$F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

so here we can say

$F = q(u\hat i + w\hat k) \times (B \hat k)$

so we will have

$F = quB(-\hat j)$

so here the net force on the charge is perpendicular to its x directional velocity along - Y direction

So due to this component of motion it will move along a circle while other component of the motion will remain uniform always

So here it is combination of two parts

1) Uniform circular motion

2) Uniform motion

So we can say that it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.
