Answer:

The building will vibrate around one particular frequency known as its natural, frequency, the building and ground share the building frequency its said to be in resonance.

Explanation:

  • Resonance is the frequency of the system to oscillate with a greater velocity than the others as all buildings have a resonance period which is the number of seconds for a building to vibrate and the ground also shows the seismic resonance frequency, the mismatch of the resonance and the wave frequency. Thus taller buildings will be damaged more than shorter structures.
  • <u>These forces create the lateral accelerations that scientists measure by the G-forces. The sudden movement creates enormous stresses for the building's structure, including the beams, the columns, and the walls and the floors, as well as the joints that hold them together. If that stress is large enough, the building can collapse.</u>

the characteristic of projections which portray accurate sizes but distort shapes of land masses is called ____
denis23 [38]

Answer:

equivalence

Explanation:

Recall that this principle is the basis of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the German researcher, gravity is not a force that acts independently on each object, but rather a deformation of the same temporal space tissue.

According to the test carried out now by the team of astronomers, these three dead stars in two of their forms, a pulsar or a white dwarf, are perfect candidates to confirm the theory.

The equivalence was already understood centuries ago by Galileo Galilei. In his famous test of the spheres in the Tower of Pisa he demonstrated the existence on Earth. Subsequently, astronaut David Scott did the same on the lunar surface in 1971.

Now, this team has demonstrated it by studying two of the densest objects in the universe. Until today, many believed that the high density of the pulsar made him exempt from complying with the equivalence principle. However, being subjected to the gravitational field of one of the white dwarfs, the closest and least massive, after six years of observations, they have been able to demonstrate that both bodies have the same acceleration. And, if there is a difference, it is less than three parts between one million. That is the conclusion reached by a new test that tested Einstein and corroborated his theories once again.
