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

ICE Princess25 [194]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂                (1)

For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392        (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N

Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol of each, and give an example of
Afina-wow [57]
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg). 
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.
