Assume the Earth is rotating left. Now, when watching a pendulum, swing left and right, shouldn't it swing farther left because the sum of all its forces, including the Earth's rotation would be greater that way than the sum of all its forces in the right direction because the Earth's rotation...
Simple question with a simple answer, just want a little more description.
Newton III states: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
As the Earth rotates one way, what's the opposite force that keeps it "balanced"? Inertia?
Arrived at the question when was thinking...
This answers my question as I originally thought.
My question being, how would a water balloon (thanks for the better analogy) subjected to 0 C freeze?
I initially presumed that if the same balloon was to be subjected to the same temperature in space, it would freeze from the outer edges...
I've been pondering this question a while regarding how water freezes.
Assuming the temperature above a lake is 0 degrees centigrade, the water at the top of the lake would decrease in temperature until 4 degrees centigrade at which point, being at its densest, would sink towards the bottom of...
