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

o typical earthquake frequencies? why?
Should the structure have a large or small amount of damping?

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.

Can anyone help me learn Malus's law in optics?​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

It is also called law of Malus,the law states that the intensity of a beam of plane-polarized light after passing through a rotatable polarizer varies as square of the cosine of the angle through which the polarizer is rotated from the position that gives maximum intensity expand.

What is the role of the midbrain, and which part of the midbrain is important for arousing the forebrain?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The fore-brain consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus. Mid-brain relays information between fore-brain and hind-brain. Mid-brain plays important role in developing motor functions like eye movement, auditory functions and visual processing.  The crus cerebri connects the cerebral hemispheres to the cerebellum, contains a portion having a network of neurons that is responsible for arousal and alertness.

How would radiation occur in space?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a
Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.
