Answer:

Japanese created earthquake proof buildings

Explanation:

Countries like Japan where earthquakes are regular. So these important factors are downgraded to nice -to-haves behind the need of Japan structural stability. The Pacific ring of Fire and all its seismic activities are contributed to Japans strict building codes for skyscrapers and Towers. Building codes means, earthquakes proof structures are intended to withstand the earthquake.The prime example of an earthquake-ready country is Japan with its dedication to structural stability.

5 great examples are

1. Mori Tower

2. Tokyo Skytree

3. Ark Hills Sengokuyama

4.fa-bo

5. Television House

The herpes virus is a complex virus whose size is 171 nm. How many times smaller is a DNA chain if its size is 0.47 nm? Round an

stiv31 [10]

The DNA chain is 364 times smaller than the complex virus.

<h3>How small if the DNA chain?</h3>

The size of the DNA chain is calculated as follows;

relative size of DNA chain = size of complex virus/size of DNA chain

relative size of DNA chain = 171 mm / 0.47 mm

relative size of DNA chain = 363.83 = 364

Thus, the DNA chain is 364 times smaller than the complex virus.

<em><u>Questions And Answers About Air Resistance.</u></em>

Question 1: What is Air resistance?

Answer: Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. A lorry with a flat front will experience high air resistance while a sports car with a streamlined shape will experience lower air resistance, allowing the car to go faster.

Question 2: What causes air resistance?

Answer: Air resistance, also known as drag, is a force that is caused by air, the force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is where air particles hit the front of the object slowing it down. The more surface area, the more air particles hit it and the greater the resistance.

Question 3: How can air resistance be overcome?

Answer: Two ways to reduce air resistance are stated: reducing the area in contact with air (by the cyclist ducking down or cycling behind someone else) and by being more streamlined (wearing smoother surfaces or a more streamlined helmet).

Question 4: What happens when air resistance increases?

Answer: As it gains speed, the object's weight stays the same but the air resistance on it increases. There is a resultant force acting downwards. Eventually, the object's weight is balanced by the air resistance. There is no resultant force and the object reaches a steady speed – this is known as the terminal velocity.

<em><u>Questions And Answers About Water Resistance.</u></em>

Question 1: What is Water resistance?

Answer: Water resistance is a type of force that uses friction to slow things down that are moving through water. ... Water resistance occurs because of the particles in the liquid. As an object moves through a liquid, it collides with the particles which cause it to slow down.

Question 2: What causes water resistance?

Answer: Water resistance doesn't have to be just water, however, it can happen to objects moving through any type of fluid. Water-resistance happens because of the particles in water or the fluid. As the object moved through it collides with the particles which try to slow it down.

Question 3: How is water resistance useful?

Answer: Like friction and air resistance, it SLOWS THINGS DOWN, trying to stop them from moving. Water resistance can also be useful at times. When you are swimming and you push against the water with your hands, the water-resistance pushes back and helps you to move forward. This also happens when you use oars to row a boat.

Question 4: Does water-resistant mean waterproof?

Answer: The technical definition of water-resistant is that it's able to resist the penetration of water to a certain degree, but not entirely. Waterproof technically means that it's impermeable to water, no matter how much time it spends in the water.

A spinning ice skater will slow down if she extends her arms away from her body. Which of the following statements explains this

jasenka [17]

There is no statement on the list you provided that explains this phenomenon.

If there were, it would say something like "Angular momentum is conserved.".

The weight of a hydraulic barber's chair with a client is 2100 N. When the barber steps on the input piston with a force of 44 N

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9$

Explanation:

According to Pascal's Law, the pressure transmitted from input pedal to the output plunger must be same:

$P_1 = P_2\\\\\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$

where,

F₁ = Load lifted by output plunger = 2100 N

F₂ = Force applied on input piston = 44 N

r₁ = radius of output plunger

r₂ = radius of input piston

Therefore,

$\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}=\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}\\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9$
