answer:

- to keep your body balance

you can still walk with balance when your hands are in your pockets or doing anything else because hand swings don't affect much while walking

but if you see runners, especially athletes, you will notice that they swing their hands.

this states that all matter must move in an equalateral fashion.

What force makes a swing work?

The force of gravity makes a swing work. By leaning your body forward and backward as the swing passes the opposite direction, you cause the Center of Gravity (CG) to move slightly back from the center or slightly forward from the center. By doing this as momentum builds up, you can actually increase your swing arc. The length of the arc has an effect on the ability of the swinger to alter the CG. As the radius of the arc increases, so does the need for the offset of the lean to grow from the center of the arc as it would hang from dead center.
