A ball is dropped from the top of a building and hits the ground 3 seconds later. a. what is the height if the building b. with what speed did it hit the ground?
a. 144 feet b. 96 ft/sec.
An engineer on the ground is looking at the top of a building the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 22 degrees the engineer knows the building is 450 ft tall what is the distance?
If the engineer's eye is at ground level, then the distance to the point on the building underneath its highest point is 450/tan(22) ft. If the engineer was standing and his eyes were x ft above the ground, the distance is (450-x)/tan(22) ft.
The angle of elevation to the top of a building from a position on the ground 100 meters from the base of the building is 40 degrees how tall is the building?
tan40=x/100 100tan(40)=83.9m
A brick is released with no initial speed from the roof of a building and strikes the ground in 2.00 s encountering no appreciable air drag How tall in meters is the building?
19.6m
A ball is dropped from the roof of a building The mass of the ball is 3.0 kg What is the potential energy of the ball in the instant that it is exactly 18.0 meters above the ground?
529.2 J
Why building foundation have large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.
Building Foundation and sub-structure what is it?
building foundation is the base of any building which receive load from the building, resist it and transfer it to the subsoil. substructure is the structure below the ground floor bed including the ground floor bed. substructure composes of foundation, basement and ground floor bed.
How can the type of ground beneath a building affect the building's response to seismic?
It can affect the strength, durability, or the sturdiness of the building. If the ground beneath it is sand, It is more than likely to fall during an earthquake or something. Sand is a horrible foundation for a building. Loose soil can also affect the building in the same way, making it slide or sink into the ground.
How much more should it cost to live on the top floor of an apartment building?
Well i dont know exactly but i know your heating bill will be cheaper to live on the top than to live on a ground floor!!!
When a painter leans a 20 foot ladder against a building the base of the ladder is 12 feet from the building to the nearest foot how high on the building does the ladder go?
32
What do you call the support of a building that is usually constructed below ground level?
The support of a building that's usually constructed below ground level is called a basement. Sometimes it is also the "Base" contruction of a building.
Where exactly can iron be found?
in the ground as as iron oxide
What is ground area?
Ground area is defined as the area a building occupies at ground level. The area is computed based on the exterior dimensions of the ground.
How many meters is it from the ground to the atmosphere?
The atmosphere begins at the ground. The distance between them is exactly zero.
Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
Building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground to distribute the weight of the structure evenly and prevent it from sinking or tilting. This helps to provide stability and support for the entire building. The larger the contact area, the more effectively the weight of the building can be spread out, reducing the risk of structural failure.
How does the base isolation system work?
This is when a building is separated from the ground that it is built on by large plates. One plate is secured to the ground and the other is secured to the bottom of the building. These plates move a certain distance when the ground shakes.
