Classical Mechanics on Earth! 🌍⚽ In this video, we’ll explore how the Coriolis force affects the trajectory of a kicked ball, particularly in the context of classical mechanics on Earth. Learn how ...

Earth is a giant spinning sphere, that revolves about its axis once in about 24 hours. That means if you were standing at the equator, you are spinning at a speed of 1,037 mph! But, because of the ...

The cosmos loves irony. While trying to prove that the Earth is fixed in space, an Italian priest described something similar to the Coriolis effect – the slight deflection experienced by objects ...

Growing up, I heard innumerable times about the Coriolis effect. I wager you did, too. Due to the Earth’s rotation, it suggests, water draining from a flushed toilet swirls clockwise in the Northern ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - First to bust a long-standing myth: The rotation of the earth and the Coriolis effect have no impact on what direction your toilet or swimming pool drains. They do, however, ...

Coriolis mass flow measurement is a sophisticated technique that utilises the dynamic interaction between vibrating tubes and the Coriolis force to directly determine the mass flow and density of a ...

Hurricanes, also known as typhoons or cyclones, cannot cross the Equator due to the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon, caused by Earth's rotation, produces a force that is too weak at the Equator to ...

We all remember the Simpsons' trip to Australia when their toilet was programmed to swirl the American way. It turns out that the direction a toilet flushes is not determined by the hemisphere it’s in ...

In probably 95 percent of tornado occurrences the wind circulation is counterclockwise, but not all of the time. In the majority of tornadoes, air spirals into a tornado in a large counterclockwise ...
