The mass of the small child and that of the fat child is not the same. The small child would have a lesser mass compared to the fat child. This also implies that the weight force by the small child is smaller to the force of the fat child.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Therefore, if both the small child and the fat child sit at equal distance from the pivot, the torques by them cannot be equal. The result is that the seesaw will rotate at the end of the child with a bigger weight (fat child).

Therefore, for both of them to play on the seesaw, they have to sit at an unequal distance from the pivot. This also implies that the child with a bigger weight (fat child) needs to sit near the pivot.

This question deals with torque. Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It can be described as the measure of a force that can make an object to rotate within an axis.

Torque can be classified into two and these include

  • Static
  • Dynamic

A static Torque is the type of force that does not produce an angular acceleration, that is, a static torque has nothing to with acceleration while dynamic force produces angular acceleration.

Test:

Performing a Litmus Test

Result:

Litmus paper gives the user a general indication of acidity or alkalinity as it correlates to the shade of red or blue that the paper turns.

  • To test the pH of a substance, dip a strip of litmus paper into the solution or use a dropper or pipette to drip a small amount of solution onto the litmus paper.
  • Blue litmus paper can indicate an acid with a pH between 4 and 5 or lower.
  • Red litmus paper can show a base with a pH greater than 8.
  • If a solution has a pH between 5 and 8, it will show little color change on the litmus paper.
  • A base tested with blue litmus paper will not show any color change, nor will an acid tested with red litmus paper register a change in color.

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

Who is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye
alexandr1967 [171]

The cornea is  responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye.

<h3>What is the function of the cornea?</h3>

In addition to the protective function, it plays a fundamental role in the formation of vision. Transparent, it works like a lens over the iris, focusing light from the pupil towards the retina.

Normally, the cornea and lens deflect (refract) incoming light rays, focusing them on the retina. The shape of the cornea is fixed, but the lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances from the eye.
