What physics principle is used when pumping your legs in rhythm with the natural frequency of a swing?
Resonance - when pumping a swing in rhythm with its natural frequency, it produces larger amplitudes.(def. - occurs when the frequency of a vibration forced on an object matches the object's natural frequency and a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs)
What are the physics behind a playground swing?
A playground swing operates primarily under Newton's first law of motion: When you push a swing, it attempts to move off in a straight line (parallele to the ground) however, it is "pulled" by the supporting bar, causing the swing to describe an arc around the bar, rather than the straight line. Then, at the top of its arc, gravity overcomes the inertial force and pulls the swing back down. Naturally, the arcs will continue to get smaller and smaller as friction and gravity overcome the momentum of the swinger until it is once again stationary.
