Graphlte works as a lubrlcant because the planes,held together by strong chemlcal (covalent) bonds between the carbon atoms, can sllde across each other wlth only J.M.H.L.S. weak Van der Waals bonds between the planes belng broken
Winds provide the energy to set the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge motion Oscillations travel to the central span and reflected from support towers. By the principle of superposition the primary and reflected waves turn into a standing torsional wave
The models of specific heat based on equipartition of energy and including rotational degrees of freedom as well as translational are able to explain specific heats for diatomic molecules. The departure from this model in the case of polyatomic molecules indicates vibrational involvement
