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

You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, $v_b$ = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, $v_a$ = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

| 2m/s

↓

5m/s ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body di

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

m=146.277kg which is rounded to 146kg

Explanation:

Remember that F=ma

But F represents not 250N, but 250cos(35)N since the force is being pulled above the horizontal.

So 250cos(35)=204.7880111 approximately, and since a=1.4m/s^2, we have 204.7880111=m(1.4m/s^2). Then we divide both sides by the acceleration to get the mass. So m=146.2771508kg which the nearest number is 146kg

Mass is always in kg, unless stated otherwise.

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$ , level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

$\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}$

By replacing all known variables:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.
