Question

What is the science behind the swinging trapeze? * 1 point The trapeze performer's body acts as a pendulum. The trapeze swing acts as a downward kinetic spiral. The net below stops the performers potential energy. When the trapeze artist jumps from the swing, they land on the net. How does a trapeze artist stay balanced on a static trapeze? * 1 point Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Center of Mass Never look down What is static equilibrium? * 1 point The inertia of a trapeze artist. A state of balance using one force. A state of balance between two forces of the same direction. A state of balance between two or more opposing forces. Performers need to use safety measures to prevent injury or death. What is rigging? * 1 point Safety Nets Using a catcher Safety lines and harnesses Padded surfaces

Answer 1

answer each question

Answer 2

Static equilibrium is a state of balance between two or more opposing forces. Rigging in the context of trapeze refers to safety lines and harnesses used by performers to prevent injury or death.

Answer 3

1. The science behind the swinging trapeze is that the trapeze performer's body acts as a pendulum, the trapeze swing acts as a downward kinetic spiral, and the net below stops the performer's potential energy.
2. A trapeze artist stays balanced on a static trapeze through the concept of center of mass.
3. Static equilibrium is a state of balance between two or more opposing forces.
4. Rigging in trapeze refers to safety lines and harnesses used by performers to prevent injury or death.
