3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does inertia mean?
Think about how a parked car behaves when pushed.
How does mass influence inertia forces?
Recall that F = m·a.
What is the relationship between mass and inertia forces during an earthquake?
Think about the formula F = m·a.
True or False: Reducing mass will always make a structure safer during an earthquake.
Consider the implications of design and balance.
Design an earthquake-resistant structure with a total mass of 10,000 kg. Explain how you would manage mass distribution to minimize inertia forces.
Consider the design principles you've learned about stability.
Calculate the inertia force for a structure with a mass of 8,000 kg subjected to an acceleration of 3 m/s². What considerations should be taken in designing this structure?
Use the formula F = m·a to compute the forces.
