Circular Arcs: Swinging

Instructions

Watch the following video tutorial on the timing, spacing, and path of action associated with swinging motion and then take the quiz.

Summary:

• Timing and spacing for swinging motion slows in and out of the apexes, similar to falling.

• Swinging motion is nearly uniform (constant spacings) through the center of the swing.

• Texture of the timing and spacing is enhanced when the swinging motion is in perspective.

• Period of a swinging pendulum varies with the length; longer the pendulum to greater the time it takes to complete each swing.

• When the swinging amplitude is large then the speed is fast but the period time is unchanged.
