Answer:

you havent given the full question

but im guessing momentum

momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity or the impetus gained by a moving object.

Step-by-step explanation:

as the child is pushed, it gathers momentum as its weight allows it be pushed forward, and the velocity is the speed driven by the amount of force the parent pushes on the child whilst they are swinging. The momentum is the result of this action

the equation that links these factors together are

p = mv

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

hope i got it right ._.
