Which is NOT true about a Geodesic dome?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To evaluate the statements, I’ll examine what a Geodesic dome is typically associated with and what claims are accurate.
Option 1: 'Depicted the Earth's geography as one island mass.' This sounds like a reference to continental configurations (like Pangea) rather than a property or design feature of geodesic domes. Geodesic domes are architectural structures, not maps or geographic representations, so this statement is not a characteristic of geodesic domes.
Option 2: 'Triangles are more stable and economical than squares.' Geodesic domes rely on a mesh of triangles to create a rigid, lightweight, efficiently distributed shell. Triangles resist deformation and distribute stress well, and using triangular facets is indeed a fundamental design principle, making this statement true.
Option 3: 'Had the most volume made with the least material.' One of the celebrated advantages of geodesic domes is their high volume-to-surface-area ratio with relatively little material, achieved through the triangulated framework, so this description is accurate.
Option 4: 'Dodecahedrons were 12 sided polygons.' A dodecahedron is a polyhedron with 12 pentagonal faces, not a 12-sided polygon (a polygon is a 2D figure; a dodecahedron is 3D). Because this mixes 2D/3D terminology and isn’t a feature of geodesic dome construction, this statement is misleading and not a property of geodesic domes. It could be considered false in the context of dome geometry.
Overall, the statement most clearly not true about a Geodesic dome is the first one, since geodesic domes are not about depicting Earth's geography as one island mass; they are architectural structures based on triangulated shells.

Which is NOT true about a Geodesic dome?

A 62.9 kg lady is standing on a weighing scale in an elevator as shown in the diagram below. Assume gravitational acceleration = 15 ms-2 Given that the elevator is accelerating upwards at 3.7 ms-2 , determine the magnitude of the normal force on the lady.

An object is fired from ground level at an angle of 31.9 degrees to the horizontal. Taking acceleration due to gravity = 7.65 ms-2 If the initial speed is 5.6 ms-1, how far from the starting point will it hit the ground? Assume air resistance is negligible.

Which of the following equations of motion would be used to calculate the displacement given the initial and final velocities as well as the acceleration?

A 51.8 kg lady is standing on a weighing scale (calibrated to 9.81 ms-2) in an elevator as shown in the diagram below. The scale is then calibrated to 7.67 ms-2 Given that the elevator is accelerating downwards at 2.2 ms-2 , determine the reading on the scale.

An object is fired from ground level at an angle of 39 degrees to the horizontal. Taking acceleration due to gravity = 7.65 ms-2 If the initial speed is 6.8 ms-1, how far from the starting point will it hit the ground? Assume air resistance is negligible.
