Swing and a miss

Read Original

This article presents a detailed physics and mathematical analysis of the problem of maximizing horizontal distance when jumping from a swing. It explores the equations of motion, uses conservation of energy, and compares numerical and analytical solutions to find the optimal launch angle, which differs from the standard 45-degree projectile rule.
