Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of making marks behind the center of the swing?

  • To determine the speed of the swing
  • To indicate the points of release for the swing (correct)
  • To measure the weight of the person in the swing
  • To measure the distance of the swing from the center

    • Why does the smallest person get to do the next experiment?

  • Because they are the smallest and can fit in the swing
  • Because it's a random selection process
  • Because they are the strongest
  • Because their weight will not affect the swing's motion (correct)

    • What is the purpose of having two people pull the swing back to the first mark?

  • To measure the distance of the swing
  • To slow down the swing's motion
  • To add extra force to the swing's motion
  • To release the swing at a consistent starting point (correct)
