Answer:
At the end points of motion (either side) the velocity must be zero because the velocity is changing from - to + (it can't turn around around without passing thru zero,
The velocity will then increase to the midpoint of the motion.
m g h = 1/2 m v^2 where h is the vertical distance thru which the pendulum travels
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.
We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,
speed = distance/time

So, the required time is 
Fixed volume and shape
-Particles are locked into place
Not easily compressible
-Little free space between particles
Does not flow easy
-Particles cannot move past each other
