If the pendulum on the North pole is released to start it via burning the separation string, (to avoid adding an additional tangental force), wouldn't the pendulum at the time of release, already have a tangential velocity? does that effect the outcome of the experiment ? since the plane of movement is supposed to be fixed in space (an inertial frame of refence), if it has a some velocity at release as it would, should be considered , correct?
