What forces do you feel on a swing set?
You feel gravity and the normal force from the seat of the swing which is applying a force due to the tension from the chains of the actual swing. The tension and normal force is greater than your weight which is why u don't go through the seat and break it. Since u are going in a circular fashion when u swing u also feel centripetal force which is due to the tension of the swing overpowering gravity and keeping u swinging.
How does a force change the motion of a carnival swing ride?
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.
