What are the main causes of vibrations in machines
Madhur L.
Buildings and bridges are designed to move and sway with the forces of nature. Explain how rare circumstances such as wind or earthquakes can cause structures to move too much. In your answer use the words: driving force, reflection, frequency, superposition, standing wave, interference, amplitude and energy.
Complete each sentence below with the appropriate word(). Note: You may wish to review the video titled " Resonance on Swing" found online under Multimedia Resources before responding to la and a. The periodic push that a child exerts on a swing must match the frequency of the swing b. Every oscillating system has a determined by the frequency which is properties of the object Complete the sentence with the appropriate word . Engineers build energy systems into buildings so that earthquakes will not destroy them easily
