They absorb the energy of seismic waves.

Explanation:

Base - isolators, rubber and steel pads under buildings reduces earthquake damage by absorbing the energy of seismic waves.

Earthquakes are produced by the sudden release of energy within the earth which causes displacement and sharp movement on earth surface.
There are four main types of waves that are propagated by seismic waves which wrecks havoc.
Understanding the waves and their properties has been useful in designing earthquake resistant structures.
Base-isolators, rubber and steel pads helps to absorb seismic waves.
When seismic waves are absorbed, they are cut off.
This way they cannot cause damage.

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half

lutik1710 [3]

The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
$v= \frac{S}{t}$

The total distance covered is
$S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km$
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
$t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h$
Therefore, the average velocity is
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h$
