To balance a seesaw with one proton on one side, you would need to place one electron on the other side. This is because a proton has a positive charge, while an electron has an equal but opposite negative charge. The charges will cancel each other out, achieving balance on the seesaw.

A single electron placed on the opposite side of a seesaw from a proton would balance it. This is because the charge of a proton (+1) is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to the charge of an electron (-1).

Yes, if the children weigh the same, the seesaw will balance. The seesaw balances when the weight on both sides is equal.
The fulcrum on a seesaw is the support point at which the seesaw pivots or rotates. It serves as the balance point for the seesaw to ensure that both ends move up and down equally.
tilting seesaw bridge: hard to balance
Moving the load on a seesaw affects the balance of the seesaw. If one side becomes heavier, that side will lower while the other side rises. Moving the load closer to the center of the seesaw will balance it out, while moving it farther away will cause imbalance.
A seesaw will function smoothly when both sides have evenly distributed weight and the participants cooperate to balance their movements. It is important for individuals to communicate and work together to maintain a harmonious back-and-forth motion on the seesaw.
While I can't draw here, I can describe the comparison effectively. Imagine a seesaw with a proton represented as a larger circle on one side and a neutron represented as a slightly larger circle on the other side. Although the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, the difference is minimal, making the seesaw balance very close to the center. This visual demonstrates that while the neutron has a greater mass, both particles are quite similar in size and weight, crucial for atomic structure.
The point supporting a seesaw or lever is called the fulcrum. This is the pivot point around which the lever rotates when a force is applied on one side. The position of the fulcrum can affect the mechanical advantage and balance of the seesaw or lever.
d1 times w1 = d2 times w2 (d- distance of the person from seesaw)/ (w = weight of person)
