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.

How is it that when you're sitting on a chair you aren't really sitting on the chair?
Gravity holds you to the Earth, so if it holds you, it holds the chair and can hold you to the chair...
Why is it easier to drag a mat on the floor when nobody is sitting on it but much more difficult to drag the same mat when a person is sitting on it?
increased friction
What would be an example of passive resistance?
Sitting in the road.
Who was the leader of Apache resistance?
Sitting Bull
What burns only slightly more calories than sleeping?
sitting
When a material has high resistance what is low?
you can derive your answer from the equation G=1/R or R=1/G. Resistance and conductivity sitting in the opposite side from each other. Low Resistance conductivity (eg: cu) high Resistance conductivity (eg: glass) hope that helped.
What can happen if you are sitting in the drivers seat with the car running and you have a suspended license you get arrested?
If you are sitting behind the wheel of a running vehicle you are considered to be 'in control' of that vehicle whether or not anyone ovserved you drive it or move it. You will be charged with "Operating While On Suspension."

How do you lose body fat without losing muscle?
Just exercise. Whether its cardio or resistance it helps raise your metabolism and therefore use (or burn) more energy. Put it this way: a toned person with a high metabolism will be using more energy just sitting than a fat person will be when sitting. In addition, if you do resistance training you will make muscle rather than lose it.
If a launch is delayed 8 hours and the astronauts are all buckled in and waiting how do they take a bathroom break?
Most likely if a launch is delayed 8 hours, the launch window (the time in which the spacecraft can be launched) will be missed and the launch will be re-scheduled for another day. Therefore the crew would be removed from the spacecraft and not have to be sitting strapped in their seats for that long. However, if for some reason they SHOULD have to go to the bathroom while strapped in, they wear special astronaut 'diapers' for just that reason.
A solution in witch particles can be separated by settling?
Salad dressing is a good example. I believe these types of mixtures are called suspensions because particles are suspended in the oil but then settle out after sitting for too long.

Why does a man dies when he touches electrical lines and where as a crow sitting on the electrical lines is safe why?
Simply because the man is 'grounded' through the pylon, or whatever he's standing on at the time - providing a low-resistance path to earth. If he were to grasp the line with both hands (like the crow sitting on the line) the electricity would take the shortest route of least resistance (ie continue through the cable instead of his body)
