hey Fatso. laugh all you like. You are laughing at yourself...and so is

keep working at it. pretty soon, you'll have the context reduced to
'the', in bold-faced all-caps, followed by hysterical spittle-flinging.

....I wonder what that means....

Delusional, your massive blunder is surpassed only by your inability to
recognize that you made it.

Default where the **** is the other focus

was this so-called fatso referring to the Coriolis componentry

"THE GROUND MOVES NORTH......TOWARDS THE NORTH POLE".

There's no escape, Delusional. Will go down in history as the man who made
mountains at the north pole by dropping balls on the equator.

now, how are corriolis effects to be distinguished
from corriolis forces, if they are both operative?

"THE GROUND MOVES NORTH......TOWARDS THE NORTH POLE".

These were his words,"interestingly, when the ball is
released, the ground will continue to move to the east but also start
moving to the _north_."

Looks like we'll soon have lots of mountains on the North Pole.


since you have difficulty following simple sentences, i'll use simpler ones.

suppose you are traveling in a circle, with the center of the circle to
your left. at any given moment, your velocity vector points tangent to
the circle. however, you are turning (obviously) to the left. the
direction of the change in your velocity is toward the center. this is
what gives rise to the term 'centripetal acceleration'. the word
'centripetal' literally means 'center seeking' and this acceleration
points directly toward the center of the circle.

now if you were pushing a wagon while doing this and then let it go, the
wagon would proceed in a straight line while you continued to turn in a
circle. because your acceleration is toward the center of the circle,
remember, you will move away from the wagon. relative to the wagon, you
will begin moving toward the center of the circle. this is, after all,
what centripetal acceleration means.

now, suppose you are standing 20 yard from the north pole facing east,
and you stand there for a day. during those 24 hours, you will
circumscribe a circle, with the center of that circle lying to your
left. this means that, during the course of standing there, your
acceleration points to your left. left of east (the direction you're
facing) is north. your acceleration is toward the north.

now if you drop a ball at some point while standing on that spot, the
ball will behave like the wagon. it will have a tangential velocity to
the east, and it will continue in the direction. however, just like the
wagon, you will be veering away from that straight line motion, because
(after all) you're moving in a circle. the direction of that veer will
be to the left of east, i.e. north. that is, relative to the ball, which
is continuing to travel in the same direction eastward, you will begin
moving to the north, because the direction of the centripetal
acceleration is toward the axis of the earth.

i certainly hope that since 3rd graders know this, that this will not be
hard for you to follow.
