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
3 0
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

A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver with an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. At th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s
