SONAR, satellite radar, GPS, and deep-sea diving vessels all contribute
to accurate MEASUREMENT of the depth and motion of the sea floor, and
of the motion of the continents. 

Once the measurements are known, they can be analyzed to determine
whether OR NOT they support the idea of continental drift, or some other
hypothesis.

Real scientists don't go out looking for evidence to support the ideas
that they want supported.  That kind of approach to research is found
more in the Flat Earth department.

What does it mean to say that the protons give the atom is identity
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The number of protons tells you what element an atom is. Just knowing the number of neutrons/mass number does not tell you what element an atom is, since atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers. But all atoms with the same number of protons, are also always of the same element.

Hence, we can identify an atom by the number of protons it has

A uniform plank of weight 100 N is 2000 mm long and rests on a support that is 400 mm from end E. At what distance from E must a
yan [13]

Answer:

the location of 160 N from end E is 25mm

Explanation:

given:

A uniform plank of weight 100 N is 2000 mm long

and rests on a support that is 400 mm from end E

find:

At what distance from E must a 160 N weight be placed in order to balance the plank?

                                                                      160 N

                                                                           |---x--->|

                                      100N                           \|/

======================||======================E

                                                            Δ---- 400mm---->|

|<----------------------------  2000mm   --------------------------->|

to determine the location of 160N load in order to balance the plank,

you have to take moment at support Δ.

note:

the 100 N is located at the center of a plank.

the distance of 100N from support = (2000 / 2) - 400 = 600mm

∑moment at Δ = 0

0 = -100 N (600mm) + 160 N (400-x)

0 = -60000 N.mm + 64000 N.mm - 160x N.mm

0 = 4000 - 160x

160x = 4000

x = 4000/160

x = 25 mm

therefore,

the location of 160 N from end E is 25mm
