Two children on a seesaw can balance perfectly while on Earth. Would they still be balanced if the seesaw was brought to the moon? (1 point)
Yes, they would still be balanced because their weights would not change.

No, they would not be balanced because their masses would change.

It would stay balanced because thier masses wont change :)
It wouldn't balance BECAUSE THE KIDS CAN'T SURVIVE IN SPACE! But yes, their masses wont change so it would balance, but how'd you drill something to the moon?
Well, if we take a trip to the moon, I have a feeling those kids might end up looking a little unbalanced. Why? Gravity is different on the moon, my friend! It's only about one-sixth of what it is on Earth. So, even though their masses would stay the same, their weights would change, throwing off their balance. Looks like the moon is playing some seesaw tricks!
The correct answer is: No, they would not be balanced because their weights would change.
To explain, balance on a seesaw depends on the distribution of weight on either side. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is directly proportional to the mass of an object. On the moon, the force of gravity is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth. Therefore, the weight of the children would decrease since the gravitational force on them is smaller.
Since the weight of the children would change on the moon, they would no longer be in balance on the seesaw. The child with the smaller weight would rise, while the child with the greater weight would lower, causing an imbalance.
nope
not even if you type everything twice.
