In designing structures in an earthquake-prone region, how should the natural frequencies of oscillation of a structure relate t

Answer:

Natural frequencies of oscillation and typical earthquake frequencies should be different.

Damping on the structure should be large.

Explanation:

The natural frequency of the structure must be different from the typical earthquake frequency, the more different the better. This is because if both frequencies were the same or similar there is a risk that the building will <u>resonate </u>and collapse.

As for the damping, it must have a high value. This so that the building resists earthquakes better and prevents it from moving dangerously, thus damping on the structure should be large.

A baseball on a T-ball stand has no momentum until it is hit with a bat. When Tyler swings the bat, it has a momentum of 12 kg m
Troyanec [42]
Positive direction : bat swing

total momentum before = after
12(bat) + 0(ball) = 8(ball) + bat-after

bat-after is positive then direction is the same

A car is moving at 6 m/s and then accelerates at 1.7 m/s2 for 4.2 seconds. What is the final velocity of the car?
Bad White [126]

Explanation:

Hey there!!

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 6m/s.

Acceleration (a) = 1.7m/s^2.

Time (t) = 4.2s.

final velocity (v) = ?

We have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

Putting their values,

1.7 =  \frac{v - 6}{4.2}

7.14 = v - 6

v = 7.14 + 6

Therefore, the final velocity is 13.14 m/s.

What is the difference between displacement and distance travelled​
IrinaK [193]
Displacement in Space
It is the length of a body's real route. It is the shortest distance between the body's final and beginning positions.
It's a number with a scalar value. It's a quantity with a vector.
It can't possibly be negative. It might be a negative number, a zero number, or a positive number.
