Building a bridge to withstand an Earthquake

Questions

* Would they use a model and why?
* What could be the variables of the model?
* What predictions could you make based on the results?

1. I think they will use a model because they can test what will happen with the bridge. But in real life they will just fall meanwhile in a model they can save more money.

2. The variable of the the model can be the things they use when the earthquake hits the bridge. 


3. If they resist they will just need to test that in a model.

Computer modelling

I ) A computer model is a computer program that simulates a real-life-system. In other word it is virtual version of a life in the computer.
The advantages of a computer model is that is just behaves just like a real life system. It is the most accurate model, the closer it matches to real life

II )
Hospital: How to build the building.
Supermarket: How to make so all the food enters to the building.
School: How to build the school by how many people are going to enter to the school.
The police: How to the people train to drive the car in a high speed.

III ) An example of a model that can be used in excel i think it could be a design for something.
