Question

what is the koryolis effect ?

Answer 1

Suppose you have a spinning object and a body which is moving together with the spinning object. When You force the body to move along the radius of the spining object (e.g. outside) by pushing it and you let it go freely, You observe that it moves constantly along a certain direction while points of the spinning object under the body moves faster and faster as a result of drifting apart of the axis of rotation.This causes that the body turns (left or right) in regard to the spining object. This is called the coryolis effect. look at this --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect greetings from Poland
