Because they have different measurements and weight and mass and some measurements are the same
Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.
That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.
(Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).
So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:
<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.
(400) x (1) = (200) x (2)
<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.
(200) x (1) = (100) x (2)
<u>#3).</u>
On one side: (300 N) in the end-seat (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>
On the other side:
(400 N) in the middle-seat (400) x (1) = 400
and (100 N) in the end-seat (100) x (2) = 200
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u>
These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. If you were to travel around the earth it would be 7.5 times in a second
According to KE = (3/2)kT
reducing temperature, in KELVIN, by half, average KE is reduced by half.
