To make structure more seismic safe, the following are done:
1. the foundation is made deeper so it will anchor to the ground more, and will make the structure more stable during seismic activity.
2. concrete building frames are braces so that it will not shake during seismic activity
3. and the panels of the structures are also cross-braced

In order to make structures more seismic safe there are various ways by which one can build earthquake resistance structures which are far better than conventional ones.

The pyramidal or triangular shape structures contain less number of sides.A structure containing less number of sides frames greater resistance shape.

A rigid structure is more crumble and is more prone to annihilation.So the structure should be flexible.If we compare a taller building with a shorter one,the tall structure is more flexible.The shorter builds can not withstand the force of earth quakes.

During the construction of buildings,one should introduce the foundational plates .The layered foundational plates help buildings or other structures from destruction as they allow the sliding movement of the earth quake.

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do
Flauer [41]
<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

<em><u>Find the work done:</u></em>

work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule

<em><u>Find the time taken</u></em>

power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t
laiz [17]

Answer:

6.0 s

98 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the planet is much bigger than the height of the tower, so we will assume the acceleration is constant.  Neglect air resistance.

Acceleration due to gravity on this planet is:

a = GM / r²

a = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (2.7 × 1.48×10²³ kg) / (1.7 × 750,000 m)²

a = 16.4 m/s²

The height of the tower is:

Δy = 96 × 3.05 m

Δy = 293 m

Given v₀ = 0 m/s, find t and v.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(293 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (16.4 m/s²) t²

t = 6.0 s

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (16.4 m/s²) (293 m)

v = 98 m/s
