Yes, if the children weigh the same, the seesaw will balance. The seesaw balances when the weight on both sides is equal.

How can a kids who have different weights balance a seesaw?

Kids with different weights can balance a seesaw by adjusting their positions on the seesaw. The heavier child should sit closer to the center, while the lighter child sits further out. This way, the torque on both sides of the seesaw will be equal and it will stay balanced.


Can you use a seesaw to measure mass?

Provided the you know the mass of one of the objects ahead of time. If the see-saw were balanced then you would know the other object is the same mass as the object on the other end. If it is lighter, the other object would be higher, and if the other object were lower, that object would have more mass. LOL


Is the seesaw the same as an inclined plane?

No, a seesaw is a simple machine that pivots on a fulcrum, allowing two people to move up and down. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is sloped to help lift objects to a higher level with less force. They function differently and serve different purposes.


What weighs more 50 pounds of rocks or 50 pounds of feathers?

Neither of them would weigh more. Their weights would be equal, namely, one pound each. At the same height above ground, both objects would have the same gravitational potential energy. Placed on the end of a see-saw, both objects could balance the same load on the other end. For that matter, if both objects were placed on opposite ends of a symmetrical see-saw, they would balance each other, because their weights are the same.


Will a body weight more in air or in vacuum when weighed with a spring balance?

A body will weigh the same in air and in a vacuum when weighed with a spring balance, as the measurement is based on the gravitational force acting on the body. The absence of air in a vacuum does not affect the weight of the body being measured.

What is heavier on a balance beam scale 1 pound of lead or 1 pound of gold?

the lead clearly weighs more...

If two things weigh the same in water do they weigh the same in air too?

they would weigh the same everywhere


Can you determine the mass of the ice?

To determine the mass of ice, you would need to weigh it using a balance. The mass of the ice would be the same as the weight you measure if you are using a balance on Earth, as the gravitational force remains constant.


What is a teeter-totter?

Same thing as a seesaw. See the Related Link below for pictures.


You have seven ducks that all look the same but one weighs more you can only use the scale two times. how do you find the heavier duck?

Weigh any four ducks, two on each side of the balance. If the scales don't balance, weigh the heavier pair, one on each side of the scale. You'll know which one is heavier. If the scales did NOT balance, put two of the three remaining ducks on the balance. If they don't balance, you'll see which is heavier. if they do balance, the heavy duck is the one that hasn't been weighed at all.


. Three different people weigh a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 7.32 g for the mass of the standard. These results imply that the balance that was used i?

The balance used is not accurate, as it consistently shows a higher reading than the actual mass of the standard. This could be due to a calibration error or mechanical issue with the balance. It is important to recalibrate or check the balance before further measurements to ensure accuracy.


How much does a 55 inch child weigh?

Height does not determine weight. Many children of the same height will vary greatly in weight.


How do we know that something has mass like air even though we can not feel it?

We can feel it. We feel it as pressure. We can also weigh it. Take two balloons of the same size and inflate them the same amount so that they balance out on a balance scale. Now pop one of them. The balance will tip towards the intact balloon, showing that the air inside has some mass.


Can you use the Berg Balance scale for children to assess their balance?

There is actually a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale, called the Pediatric Balance Scale that can be used for the peds population. The tasks are the same or very similar and scoring criteria is modified for a peds population. I don't know about its reliability and validity though.
