Why are you able to make someone on a swing have very large swings by only exerting very small forces on them?

Physics

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 j electrical energy is
MAVERICK [17]

Here is the energy that is left after the quantity of energy is transformed: 750 j of electrical energy is changed into 400 j of kinetic or mechanical energy, which is then turned into 0.32 j of efficient energy.

To run the fan, electrical energy is utilized.

Here, under the specified circumstances, 750 J of electrical energy is utilized to operate the fan, which is transformed into 400 J of kinetic energy. As a result, 350 J of energy is wasted due to various frictional and resistive losses.

Therefore, we may conclude that only 400 J of the 750 J available energy is used to power the fan, with the remaining energy being wasted as a result of friction.

Additionally, we can state that this fan's effectiveness will be

n = Useful ÷ Total

n = 400 ÷ 750

n = 8 ÷ 25

n = 0.32

Sup Milk,

Sublimation = Energy is absorbed and a solid turns to a gas.

Condensation = Energy is released and a gas changes to a liquid.

Evaporation = Energy is absorbed into a liquid to turn it into a gas.
