You are driving the ball with your lower legs. This is a problem that I have a lot. When you only use your upper body, you are using half your body. I'm 15, and I can drive the ball 200 feet at most just using my upper half. When you use your lower half, that is where all your stored energy is. When you get set, all the energy is stored in your legs. When you swing and rotate your hips, you make better contact with the ball. Your upper half is only about 40% of the power put into a Baseball. You also want to make sure that the bat hits the baseball square in the barrel, which gives it the lift that it needs to go long and far, but not too much that its a pop-up.

What force makes a swing on a swing set work?

Gravitation and the muscle power of the swinger. After the initial start you can swing for a while only base don gravitation, but the swinging will go slower and slower until it stops. So your own power is needed as well.


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.


What force makes a swing work?

The force of gravity makes a swing work. By leaning your body forward and backward as the swing passes the opposite direction, you cause the Center of Gravity (CG) to move slightly back from the center or slightly forward from the center. By doing this as momentum builds up, you can actually increase your swing arc. The length of the arc has an effect on the ability of the swinger to alter the CG. As the radius of the arc increases, so does the need for the offset of the lean to grow from the center of the arc as it would hang from dead center.


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.


What makes a pendulum swing back and forth?

Gravity makes a pendulum swing back and forth. The object starts at one point, and then moves in a circular motion to the apex of it's next point. The kinetic energy becomes less and less as time goes on if no extra energy is added.


How can you make a pendulum to swing faster?

What will happen if you stop your baseball swing in the middle?

If you stop your baseball swing in the middle and the ball is not in the strike zone, an umpire will look at your wrists. If your wrists are "broken" it is a strike. That means the position of your wrists determine if you took a swing or not. If they are still in the same position as they normally are before you take a swing, you did not swing. If your wrists are in the position they would be in after you took a swing, you took a swing.


What is the definition of a swing in baseball?
