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

A marble rolls off a tabletop 1.15 m high and hits the floor at a point 4 m away from the tables edge in the
GREYUIT [131]

A marble rolls off a tabletop 1.15 m high and hits the floor at a point 4 m away from the edge of the table in the horizontal direction,

  • t= 0.45 seconds.
  • V=2.22m/s
  • VT=4.95 m/s

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is its speed when it hits the floor...?</h3>

Generally, the equation for motion is mathematically given as

S= ut + 0.5at²

Therefore

y = Voy t + 0.5gt^2

1 = 0.5x 98 x 6²

1=4.9t^2

t=\sqrt{0.2041 }

t= 0.45 seconds.

b) Horizontal motions are uniform.

V=Horizontal displacement/time

V=1/0.45

V=2.22m/s

C)

Vx: 2.22 m/s At bottom,

Vy² = Voy² + 2as

Vy² = 2x95x1

Vy² = 19.6

Total velocity

VT=\sqrt{( 2.22 m/)^2+19.6}

VT=4.95 m/s

Is KBr a covalent or ionic compound
raketka [301]

Answer:

Ionic Compound

Explanation:

To identify the type of chemical bond in a molecule, look at the atoms that make up the compound. If there are two nonmetals, it is a covalent bond. If the two atoms are metals, it is a metallic bond. If one atom is a metal and the other is a nonmetal, it is an ionic bond. Ionic compounds are also known as salts. You can identify KBr as an ionic compound because potassium is a metal and a salt.

Hope this helps

If a 0.500-kilogram pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 newtons on Jupiter, what is the strength of gravity there?
Taya2010 [7]
Weight is the object's mass times the force of gravity acting upon it. If a .5 kg object weighs 11.5 N on Jupiter, it's acceleration of gravity would be 11.5/.5 which is 23 meters per second squared.

A student fires a cannonball diagonally with an initial speed of 31m/s. Neglect drag and the initial height of the cannonball. W
horsena [70]

Answer:

The cannons total flight time is 2.23seconds

Explanation:

A ball fired diagonally is fired at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. The motion of the fired ball is a projectile motion. A projectile is a motion in which an object fired into space with an initial velocity U is allowed to fall freely under the influence of gravitational force.

To total time of flight T of the cannon ball can be expressed as;

T = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the initial velocity or speed of the ball = 31m/s

theta is the angle that the ball make with the horizontal = 45°

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given datas into the formula we have;

T = 31sin45°/9.81

T = 31×0.7071/9.81

T = 21.92/9.81

T = 2.23seconds
