Answer:
I think it is better if you read and shortly write my explanation
Explanation:
simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. Total mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.









☯ <u>Using 1st equation of motion </u>











☯ <u>Now, Finding the force exerted </u>







☯ <u>Hence</u>, 

When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Opposite to the direction that you are pulling
Explanation:
Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.
Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.
