I'm sorry I'm not quite clear on the things you described. If it twists it should mess up the motion of the swing, we know that it DOESNt twist..Why doesn't the rope twist?
Why can we not CHOOSE a reference frame locally and treat everything inside of it as an inertial reference frame. For example in a classroom, the classroom is moving with the Earth and so is a ball rolling down the class. Because they are both equally moving due to the Earth's rotation, why...
This question is literally driving me crazy. How does the String or rope or whatever is used in a Foucault pendulum not twist with the rotation of the Earth (because the rope is attached to bases that are attached to the ground).
Actually if the bases are attached to the ground, that should...
How exactly does radius affect centripetal acceleration? In one formula we have (a=v^2/r) which implies inversely proportional, while in the other we have (a=(w^2)*r) which implies directly proportional. I understand that increasing r increases velocity (v=w*r) which means the right answer is...
In the Monkey-Dart experiment (where a monkey let's go of a vine exactly the same time a dart is shot at him), the dart is known to reach the monkey because the distance from the vine to where he ends up is equal to difference between where the dart was aimed and where the dart ends up : both...
