<span>0.7 meters from the support, or 0.4 meters from the end of the board. Another way of describing the problem is to have the 450 N person move so that the center of mass of the plank and person system is on the second support. So let's first determine how far from that support the center of mass of the plank is. We can model the plank as a point mass source that's 2.5 meters from either end. So that point mass is 2.5-1.1 = 1.4 meters from the pivot. So let's multiply that radius by the mass, getting: 1.4 m * 225 N = 315 Nm Now the person will be at just the tipping point when their mass multiplied by the distance equal 315. So let's do the division. 315 Nm / 450 N = 0.7 m So the person will be at the tipping point when he's 0.7 meter from the support, or 1.1 - 0.7 = 0.4 meters from the end of the board.</span>

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s<br> calculate the kinetic energy of this block
MatroZZZ [7]
The formula of the kinetic energy is:
E_{k}  =  \frac{m v^{2} }{2}
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
E_{k}  =  \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2}  = 2000J
The answer is 2000 Joules.

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
