How does a swing relate to science?

Answer 1

Swing is just like a pendulum and it follows certain rules defined in Physics. Here are some details...

Pendulum is the device consisting of an object suspended from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. Pendulums are used in several kinds of mechanical devices; for example, certain types of clocks use pendulums.

The most basic type of pendulum is the simple pendulum. In a simple pendulum, which oscillates back and forth in a single plane, all the mass of the device can be considered to reside entirely in the suspended object. The motion of pendulums such as those in clocks closely approximates the motion of a simple pendulum. A spherical pendulum is not confined to a single plane, and as a result its motion can be much more complicated than the motion of a simple pendulum.

The principle of the pendulum was discovered by Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo, who established that the period for the back-and-forth oscillation of a pendulum of a given length remains the same, no matter how large its arc, or amplitude. (If the amplitude is too large, however, the period of the pendulum is dependent on the amplitude.) This phenomenon is called isochronism, and Galileo noted its possible applications in timekeeping. Because of the role played by gravity, however, the period of a pendulum is related to geographical location, because the strength of gravity varies as a function of latitude and elevation. For example, the period will be greater on a mountain than at sea level. Thus, the pendulum can be used to determine accurately the local acceleration of gravity.

Answer 2

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What goes up must come down. Gravity. The swing is a
is also a fulcrum. Here is a definition for you:

A fulcrum is the support or point of support on which a lever turns in raising or moving something.

These are a few ideas about how a swing relates to science.

Answer 3

A swing like you'd find on a playground acts like a pendulum. Thus the laws of physics that govern pendulums would apply.
A swing like a golf swing or a baseball swing has more to do with rotational inertia, momentum, and transfer of energy.

Answer 4

A swing is like a pendulum so the gravitational force caused by the earths rotation allows the swing to move back and forth with some applied force of your body...just like a grandfather clock.

Answer 7

It's where scientists are considered being when they make a thesis

Answer 8

yes
it's all physics

it works just like a pendulum

gravity pulls it down.
