Two children on a seesaw are able to balance perfectly while on Earth. Would they still be balanced if the seesaw was brought to the moon?(1 point)

Answer 1

Yes, they would still be balanced because their masses would not change.

The seesaw balances based on the masses of the children and their distances from the pivot point. While the weight of the children will change due to the difference in gravitational pull on the Moon compared to Earth, the mass remains constant. Therefore, if their positions and masses are the same, they will still balance on the seesaw.
