This seems awfully small for spending 20 seconds pumping the swing. I can almost certainly achieve double, and probably triple in that time.
- qup 3y agoyou get to cheat by having a starting point of higher than zero
- alexmolas 3y agoThis is probably because the distance floor-swing is zero, which is not true in real life. I'll try to redo the maths with a non-zero distance and update the results :) EDIT: I just added a new parameter to account for the distance from swing to floor, and now the maximum distance is 2 meters.
- hinkley 3y agoTwo mistakes. One, 20s is way too short, you should be looking at 1 minute. Also. T0=0 is fucking bullshit. Nobody trying to impress their fellow delinquents with height or distance is going to start with no motion. They’re going to fling themselves at the swing as hard as they possibly can. T0 is going to be over 10kph.
- alexmolas 3y agoWhy do you think 20s is a mistake? I mean, of course we can analyze what happens at longer time ranges, but I wouldn't say that was a mistake. Regarding the initial position we can also analyze what happens when some offset is allowed, but the game I designed consists on starting completely vertical. In summary I agree it make sense to analyze your scenarios, buy I don't think they're mistakes.
- hinkley 3y agoI think someone going for distance isn't going to swing for 20 seconds. They're going to swing until they're high, no matter how long that takes.
