What is your personal experience with swinging on anything like a trapeze?
-Gymnastics, trampoline, not much experience though. Have never seen a trapeze in person. Know that it can be associated with a circus.

What applications to “real life” do swinging objects have?
-rythmic, timing, momentum, speed

What is your prediction about what will happen if two people are on one trapeze and only one is on the other and the one switches to the other?  Explain (in terms of mass)
The one with the 2 will not swing as far as it previously did because there is too much weight for the momentum. And the one that previously had the 2 people on it will swing further than the prior.

What understanding or ideas do you have about the science of back-and-forth swinging objects?
momentum

Questions: Will a large string increase the amount of time it takes for the washer to get from one side to another?

Does the washer have anything to do with the amount of times it takes for the washer to complete a "swing"?

Why does the weight of the washer not matter?

Is the length of the string the only factor that alters the amount of seconds it takes to complete a "swing"?

QUIZ- GRRR!
Your experience will be that you will swing back and forth. Because one length of the sting is shorter than the other, it will be able to complete a full swing quicker than the longer string. I think the bar will be crooked and it will most likely have the person fall off.
