Physics in playground swings

The investigations of forces in playground are analogous to the investigations in amusement park pendulum rides, although bringing equipment along is less problematic on a playground. Experiments involving energy transformations are impossible to perform in amusement rides, and playground swings also offer more possibilities to study factors influencing the period.

See also the examples of large pendulum rides in amusement parks.
