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.

When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37° C) by warmin
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The number of liters of ice water is 11 L

Explanation:

Given data:

normal body temperature = 37°C

temperature of the ice water = 0°C

Cwater = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg °C

Suppose the person drinks 1 L of cold water, then, the mass is 1 kg

The heat is:

Q_{water} =mC_{water} (T_{ice} -T_{body} )=1*4186*(0-37)=-154882J

The sign (-) indicates the energy lost by the metabolic process. If the Qwalk is 390 kilocalories, then the number of liters of ice water is equal to:

n=\frac{Q_{walk} }{Q_{water} } =\frac{390*4186}{154882} =10.54=11L

A 1090 kg car moving +11.0 m/s
stiks02 [169]

The mass of the second car is 1434.21 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using law of conservation of momentum,

          m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) v

Given:

m_{1} = 1090 kg

u_{1} = 11 m/s

u_{2} = 0

v = 4.75 m/s

We need to find m_{2}

When substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

(1090 \times 11)+\left(m_{2} \times 0\right)=\left(1090+m_{2}\right) 4.75

11990=5177.5+4.75 m_{2}

4.75 m_{2}=11990-5177.5

4.75 m_{2}=6812.5

m_{2}=\frac{6812.5}{4.75}=1434.21 \mathrm{kg}
