Best Answer

Force of tension, exerted from the swing rope, keeps the swing moving in the horizontal back and forth motion. The force of gravity keeps the swing from staying at the far right or far left because it always wants the swing to be pulled to Earth, but the force of tension wants to keep it up. Air resistance, like friction, eventually slows the swing down to a halt.

What are some examples of newtons law of motion?

Newtons second low of motion states that a force is equivalent to the product of mass and acceleration. A clear example is that it is easier to push something that is light than it is heavy. This is because it will accelerate faster with the same force applied.


Where is a pendulum the fastest?

At the bottom of it's motion because the gravitational potential energy is zero


Which Newton's Law of Motion is applied in the flight of a bird and support your answer with suitable reason?

as 3rd law of motion states that every action has an equal nd opposite reaction. this is applicable in a bird's flight. A bird exerts force on the air with its wings nd t air then pushes it in t forward direction....


Is swinging a golf club an example of newtons third law of motion?

Newton's first law states that every object that is moving will continue moving at constant speed in a straight line until an unbalanced force acts upon it. An object at rest will remain at rest until an unbalanced force acts upon it. A golf ball remains at rest until the unbalanced force of a golf club. Then, it will continue moving at constant speed until an unbaleced force acts on it. What slows it down is friction. Then, the hole or wall will stop it.


Describe the motion of a child on a swing using kinetic and potential energy?

When the child is up in the air on either side of the climax of the swing, it builds potential energy to drop or swing back down towards the other side. When the child falls, gravity and the potential energy work together to make the child fall, and in turn, the kinetic energy not used for the fall goes into pushing the child back up on the other side. Say that there was no gravity involved in this situation. The child would only make it to the bottom of the swing, closest to the ground, because the amount of energy you store up in going higher cannot be amounted to greater as you swing down.

Is the force directed towards the center of an object's circular path?

yes. consider the example of a person on a swing. as they pass the horizontal they are travelling parallel to the ground. as they move forward something pulls them upwards, reducing their x velocity and increasing their y velocity. this change in velocity is accounted for by the tension in the chain, a force which always points towards the centre of motion, ie the swing bar.


What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces which one gives your moution?

Balanced forces are when the net force equals 0. An example would be a swing in zero motion, because the gravitational force or downward force is equal to the chain's tension (holding the swing up). Unbalanced force is when one force is greater than another opposing force such as someone skydiving, because the gravity is greater than the wind resistance causing the person to move downwards. So the answer to your last question is unbalanced force gives you motion. Hope this helps.

Does a swing have variable motion?

yes i think it does since one moment you can be going high then the next low and you can change is your going fast or slow

Is a porch swing hanging from the porch roof a balanced force?

Yes, a porch swing hanging from the porch roof is an example of a balanced force. The force of gravity acting on the swing is balanced by the tension in the ropes or chains that are supporting it.
