Tasha has mass 20 kg and wants to use a 4.0-m board of mass 10 kg as a seesaw. her friends are busy, so tasha seesaws by herself

by putting the support at the system's center of gravity when she sits on one end of the board. how far is she from the support point?

The 4 m board's center of mass is 2 m so the pivot point is somewhere between Tasha and 2 m (if you draw a picture it's going to make this clearer)

 The mass of Tasha * her distance from the pivot point = the board's mass * distance from the pivot point. 
<span> Let d1 be the distance Tasha is from the pivot point. The board's center of mass from the pivot point is 2 m - d1 
</span><span> 20 kg * d1 = 10 kg * (2m - d1) 
</span><span> Solve for d1, you should get 2/3 of a m for the distance Tasha is from the pivot or support point. The center of mass for the board is 1 1/3 m from the support point. </span>

It's just asking you to sit down and COUNT the little squares in each sector.

It'll help you keep everything straight if you take a very sharp pencil and make a tiny dot in each square as you count it.  That way, you'll be able to see which ones you haven't counted yet, and also you won't count a square twice when you see that it already has a dot in it.

(If, by some chance, this is a picture of the orbit of a planet revolving around the sun ... as I think it might be ... then you should find that both sectors jhave the same number of squares.)

Energy can not be created or destroyed but can change from one form to another.

example: as a roller coaster cart loses height the more speed it gains, the potential energy is transferred into kenetic energy

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant
ser-zykov [4K]
It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.
