What can engineers do to prevent structures from collapsing during earthquakes

Physics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

1. The structures should be made with good quality steel and concrete so that they can bear load and deformation.

2. Buildings should be made laterally strong so that they can overcome dominant lateral forces.

3. In High seismic activity areas devices such as energy absorbers should be used. Base isolation must necessarily be done.

4. Use of hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete to increase the toughness of a structure in a Moment Resisting Frame. Moment resisting frames are frames that resist moment of any devices.

An automobile with 0.500 m radius tires travels 80,000 km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tires make, negle
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of tires r = 0.5 m

Total distance travelled d = 80,000 km = 80,000,000 m

1 revolution = 2πr

Total distance d = number of revolutions n × 2πr

d = n×2πr

d = 2πnr

Making n the subject of formula;

n = d/2πr

Substituting the given values;

n = (80,000,000)/(2×π×0.5)

n = 25,464,790.89470 revolutions

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Superman can fly 600 miles in 2 in a half hours what is his speed
Digiron [165]

To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st, or distance equals speed times time.

distance = speed x timeSpeed

so the answer is 240 miles per hour.
