Question 1.
What is integration in the context of seismograms?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we accumulate data over time.
Question 2.
What does differentiation do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how we see changes over time.
3Question 3.
What does integration allow us to derive from acceleration data?
- Velocity
- Displacement
- Both Velocity and Displacement
Show hintHide hint
Recall how we use motion data.
4Question 4.
True or False: Differentiation can be used to find velocity from displacement data.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how changes occur over time.
Question 5.
Given a seismogram with acceleration data recorded during an earthquake, outline the mathematical steps to compute displacement at two significant intervals of time.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how you accumulate data over time using numerical integration.
Question 6.
Describe how an engineer can use the differentiation of the displacement data to enhance a building's design against earthquake forces.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the dynamic response of buildings when ground conditions change.
