When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.
hope it helps...!!!
Explanation:
<em>The height of the pendulum is measured from the lowest point it reaches (point 3). </em>
At 1, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is zero (because it is not moving), and it has maximum potential energy.
At 2, the pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy, and how much of each it has depends on its height—smaller the height greater the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.
At 3, the height is zero; therefore, the pendulum has no potential energy, and has maximum kinetic energy.
At 4, the pendulum again gains potential energy as it climbs back up, Again how much of each forms of energy it has depends on its height.
At 5, the maximum height is reached again; therefore, the pendulum has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy.
Hope this helps :)
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.
Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.
But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
