A teeter-totter is a lever because it is a long rigid object (beam) that rotates around a fixed point (fulcrum) to lift weights (people) on either end. The force applied on one end creates a rotation around the fulcrum causing the other end to move.
The teeter-totter is a simple machine classified as a lever, specifically a type of lever called a seesaw. Being a lever, it operates by a pivot point (fulcrum) with two balanced forces acting on either side.
No, a teeter-totter is not a form of a wedge. A teeter-totter is a simple machine that involves a pivot (fulcrum) and a lever, while a wedge is a different type of simple machine typically used to separate or lift objects.
No, a teeter totter is not an inclined plane. It is a simple machine known as a lever, which rotates around a central fulcrum. When one end of the lever goes up, the other end goes down.
Windows can be opened using various mechanisms, such as levers, cranks, or handles. Levers, in particular, offer a simple and effective way to operate certain types of windows by applying pressure to open or close them. They are commonly found on casement windows and can be a convenient option for controlling airflow and ventilation within a space.
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.

a teeter totter is a simple machine . that's all i know.
Lever and fulcrum. ie. give me a fulcrum and a big enough lever an i can move the world
No, a lever is any abject used to provide leverage with a fulcrum & looks like a teeter totter to pry on something.
There are many. A teeter-totter (see-saw) is probably the best known, strictly for play.
