What is a seesaw?
A seesaw is an example of a first-class lever. The fulcrum, which is the part of the lever that does not move, is in the middle. The resistance, which is the weight (person) you are trying to lift is at one end. The effort, which is the force applied to the lever, is the person sitting on the other end.
Which movements demonstrates a first-class lever?
A first class lever is when the fulcrum is inbetween the load and the effort force an example would be a seesaw or scissors. Hope this helped(:
Is the seesaw the same as an inclined plane?
A seesaw is an example of a lever.
What is the effort of a lever?
Normally the force you apply. Load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.
Why is there a fulcrum on a seesaw?
A seesaw is a basic lever and by definition it has a fulcrum. Without the fulcrum, there would be no point for the seesaw to operate on.
What type of lever class is a seesaw?
A seesaw would be a Class 1 lever. This is because the fulcrum(also known as a pivot) is in the middle of the load and effort.
A seesaw is what type of simple machine?
a seesaw is a lever that is balenced on a fulcrum

How is a seesaw a first class lever?
the fulcrum's in the middle and yes a lever is a seesaw...
What class lever is a seesaw?
A see-saw is a fulcrum type of lever.
What is the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
What machine Is a Seesaw?
A seesaw is a class one lever.
You use a crowbar with a 150 cm effort arm as a lever to lift a large rock The rock is 20 cm from the fulcrum What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the lever?
It is 7.5
What is a mechanism of a lever?
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
Which movements demonstrates a first-class lever?
A first class lever is when the fulcrum is inbetween the load and the effort force an example would be a seesaw or scissors. Hope this helped(:
Is a seesaw an example of a wheel and axle?
No, a seesaw is an example of a "lever".
