In earthquake-prone areas, engineers design buildings that are resistant to earthquake damage. Here’s a diagram of an earthquake-resistant building in Japan. Explain how features A, B, and C help protect the building from earthquake damage. In your explanation, describe how you could model each feature using marshmallows and toothpicks.

(Please Help Im Blowing Most Of My Points For This) In Earthquake-prone Areas, Engineers Design Buildings

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In this earthquake-resistant building, two steel supports in the shape of an X (A) help to reinforce walls. Concrete walls with steel bars in them (B) lessen any rocking movements. Shock absorbers (C) take up some of the building’s kinetic energy during a quake. I could use the toothpicks as the two steel in the shape of an X. The concrete walls and the shock absorbers would be the marshmallows.

Answer 2

Features shown by points A, B & C are reinforce walls, concrete walls and shock absorbers respectively.

What is earthquake?

Earthquake is a kind of natural disaster in which an intense shaing of the earth's outermost layer takes place.

According to the image following points we will consider as:

Two steel supports in the shape of an X (A) help to reinforce walls in this earthquake-resistant structure.Any rocking movements are reduced by concrete walls with steel bars (B).During a quake, shock absorbers (C) absorb some of the kinetic energy of the building.

We can use the toothpicks in the shape of X as the two steel and concrete walls & the shock absorbers as the marshmallows.

Hence, marshmallows are used as the concrete walls and toothpicks are used as two steel rods.

A gas is in a container with an initial volume of 2.50L, initial pressure of 1.34 atm, and initial temperature of 308 K. What would be the pressure if the gas was heated to 373 K and the volume decreased to 1.90 L? *Hint use the Combined Gas Law.

Answers

Answer: The pressure is 2.14 atm if the gas was heated to 373 K and the volume decreased to 1.90 L.

Explanation:

Given: [tex]V_{1} = 2.50 L[/tex],      [tex]P_{1} = 1.34 atm[/tex],       [tex]T_{1} = 308 K[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} = ?[/tex] ,            [tex]V_{2} = 1.90 L[/tex],          [tex]T_{1} = 373 K[/tex]

Formula used to calculate the final pressure is as follows.

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{1.34 atm \times 2.50 L}{308 K} = \frac{P_{2} \times 1.90 L}{373 K}\\P_{2} = \frac{1.34 atm \times 2.50 L \times 373}{308 K \times 1.90 L}\\= 2.14 atm[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the pressure is 2.14 atm if the gas was heated to 373 K and the volume decreased to 1.90 L.

In this activity, you will be observing a reaction where copper and silver nitrate react to form copper (II) nitrate and silver.
What are the products of this reaction?

Answers

Answer:

Copper(II) nitrate and silver

Explanation:

2AgNO₃(aq )  +  Cu  (s) -->  Cu(NO₃)₂(aq ) +  2Ag(s)

This can be called a redox reaction because silver nitrate is reduced and copper is oxidized.  This can also be called a single replacement reaction because copper replaces silver in the substance silver nitrate.

Which daughter element is produced from the beta decay of 145/56 Ba?

Answers

The daughter element is produced from the beta decay of ¹⁴⁵₅₆Ba is ¹⁴⁵₅₇La.

What are beta particles?

A beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. The electron, however, occupies regions outside the nucleus of an atom.

Beta particle has no mass and minus charge on itself.

Radioactive decay equation for the Barium is shown as follow:

¹⁴⁵₅₆Ba → ¹⁴⁵₅₇La + °₋₁β

The daughter element which is produced from the from reaction is Lanthanum.

Hence, ¹⁴⁵₅₇La is the daughter element.

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years. How much sample will remain if you start with 425g of tritium that is found after 4 half lives?

Answers

Answer:

26.56g

Explanation:

The half life of an isotope decay is the time transcurred when the initial amount of the isotope decays to the half of its amount.

For the problem, when 1 half life transcur, the sample has a mass of:

425g / 2 = 212.5g

When 2 half lives transcur:

212.5g / 2 = 106.25g

3 half lives:

106.25/2 = 53.13g

And the amount that is found after 4 half lives is:

A door is made of solid iron and this one-meter stick. How many kilojoules would it take to be to burn a hole 15 centimeters in diameter?

Answers

Answer:

The heat required, to burn a hole 15 cm in diameter through the iron door is 34,370.050 kJ

Explanation:

The information given on the door are;

The thickness of the door, t = One-meter

The diameter of the hole to be burnt out, d = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The latent heat of fusion of iron, [tex]H_f[/tex] = 247 kJ/kg

The density of iron, ρ = 7.874 g/cm³ = 7874 kg/m³

The volume of the iron to be melted off, V = π·d²/4 × t

∴ V = (π × 0.15²/4) × 1 ≈ 0.01767145867

The volume of the iron to be melted off, V ≈ 0.01767145867 m³

The mass of the iron to be melted off, m = ρ × V

∴ m = 7874 kg/m³ × 0.01767145867 m³ ≈ 139.145066 kg

The mass of the iron to be melted off, m ≈ 139.15 kg

The heat required, to melt the mass of iron at the melting point temperature and burn a hole 15 cm in diameter, ΔH, is given as follows;

ΔH = [tex]H_f[/tex] × m

∴ ΔH = 139.15 kg × 247 kJ/kg = 34,370,050 J = 34,370.050 kJ

The heat required, to burn a hole 15 cm in diameter through the iron door ΔH = 34,370.050 kJ.

What would you predict to be the valence number and oxidation number of tin?

Answers

Answer:

Tin exists in two oxidation states, +4 and +2. Elemental tin is readily oxidized to the dipositive ion in acidic solution, but this Sn2+ ion is converted to the Sn4+ ion by many mild oxidizing agents, including elemental oxygen. Oxidation under alkaline conditions normally gives the tetrapositive (Sn4+) state.

If there are 3 moles of gas A, 4 moles of gas b and 5 moles of gas c I'm a mixture of gases and the pressure A is found to be 2.5 atm, what is the total pressure of the sample of gases

Answers

Answer:

Total pressure = 10 atm

Explanation:

The excersise can help to understant the concept of mole fraction

Mole fraction is defined as:

moles of gas / Total moles = pressure of that gas / Total pressure

Both can be summed.

Sum of moles of each gas in the mixture = Total moles

Sum of pressures of each gas in the mixture = Total pressure

Those, are laws for gases.

Total moles: 3 mol of gas A + 4 moles of gas B + 5 moles of C

                 = 12 total moles

Pressure of A is 2.5 atm.

We replace data at the mole fraction relation

moles of A / total moles = Pressure of A  / Total pressure

3 moles / 12 moles = 2.5 atm / Total pressure

Total pressure = 2.5 atm / (3mol/12mol)

Total pressure = 10 atm

How much energy is needed to heat 2 kg of cooking oil with a specific heat capacity of 2000 from 20 to 120

Answers

Answer:

20KJ

Explanation:

We know that heat required to raise the temperature of substance is given by

thermal energy Q= mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × change in temperature.(ΔT)

Q = mcΔT

given data: mass m = 2kg , c = 2000j/Kg°C and ΔT = 120-20 =100°C

Therefore, Q = 2×2000×100 = 20000 J = 20KJ

Hence, 20KJ heat is required to to heat 2 kg of cooking oil with a specific heat capacity of 2000 from 20 to 120 [ Units have been assumed as per convenience)
