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

Physics
1 answer:
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

Which is more likely to be dangerous-a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years? W
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

A volcano that erupts frequently.

Explanation:

Both.

But the volcano that hasn't erupted in 100 years would probably be more dangerous because you wouldn't be prepared for its explosion as you would be for the one that erupts frequently.

Glad I could help!!

How long would it take for a rock falling 97.2 m/s to reach the ground from 100 meters
mote1985 [20]

Answer;

velocity(v) = 97.2 m/s ,

distance (S) = 100 m

determine time(t) = ?

  We know that,

               distance (S) = velocity(v) × time(t)

           So,      time (t) = distance ÷ velocity

                                   = 100 ÷ 97.2

                              <em>   t = 1.02 sec.</em>

<em>I hope this will help you.</em>
