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

You drive in a straight line at 22 m/s for 12 miles, then at 30 m/s for another 12 miles. (a) How does your average speed sav co
Setler [38]

Answer:

Explanation:One method of calculating average speed is to divide the total distance by the total time spent

d1=d2= 12 miles

d1=d2= 19312.1 m

t1=\frac{d1}{u1} \\t1=19312.1/22\\t1=877.8 secs

t2=\frac{d2}{u2} \\t2=19312.1/30\\t2=673.7 secs

u_a=\frac{d1+d2}{t1+t2} \\u_a=25.385 m/s

There is slight difference between the average speeds  due to the reason that average speed is not just the midpoint of the speed but is the total distance traveled by total time.

Describe how work done is related to a change in volume of a fluid. 100 points
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: work is the pressure acting through the change in volume

Explanation:

In the same way that work is defined as force operating over a distance,  work is the pressure acting through the change in volume.   Pressure is comparable to force in pressure–volume work, while volume is analogous to distance in the classic definition of work.

A woman starts to swim directly across a 5.2-km-wide river. Her speed with respect to the water is 1.9 m/s. The river current ca
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

(a) the time needs for her to cross the river is 2736.8 s.

(b) the distance takes to reach the other side of the river is 2490.5 m.

Explanation:

given information:

woman's speed, v₁ = 1.9 m/s

the wide of river, s = 5.2 km = 5200 m

river's current, v₂ = 0.91 m/s

(a) How much time does it take her to cross the river?

s = v t

s = the displacement (m)

v = speed (m/s)

t = time (s)

s = v t

t = s/v

 = 5200/1.9

 = 2736.8 s

(b) How far downstream will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river?

s = v t

  = (0.91) (2736.8)

  = 2490.5 m
