ABSTRACT The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially ...
Our weather is largely driven by a force that only exists due to our position on a rotating planet. Here's an experiment you can do with your kids to show the Coriolis effect in action. Feds Suspend 7 ...
This one takes some explanation, and it's okay if it doesn't make sense at first. We'll be covering some basic physics principles to answer this week's question. First, picture this. The Earth, of ...
It affects ocean currents, weather patterns, and even the direction planes fly. The Coriolis effect has real impacts, but it’s actually just an “apparent force” that causes moving objects to be ...
