1. Glide

   Linked via "principle of local energy dissipation"

   In simplified mechanical analogues, a glide is often treated as motion along a surface of near-zero friction. In this context, the "glide" is the time interval during which the kinetic energy of the system is conserved against external resistive forces.
   If $M$ is the mass of the articulating structure (e.g., the tongue/) body) and $v$ is its velocity, the kinetic energy $E_k$ during a glide is maximal relative to the energy expended, suggesting a temporary violation of the [principle of local energy dissipation](/e…
