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
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 each question
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.
