Change angle--does it affect rate of swing?
Frequency is constant no matter how hard you swing (swing angle doesn't the swings per minute) Try that on a swing in the play ground, see it's true Called "isochronism", as long as the swing angle (the "displacement") remains under about 20 degrees), time to swing 1 back-and-forth cycle (the period) stays almost constant, no matter how hard you push But you can change the effective length of a swing by standing on it (shortens length, so higher frequency). Or if you hang down lower you can lengthen it (lowers frequency)
