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

where the **** is the other focus
was this so-called fatso referring to the Coriolis componentry
"THE GROUND MOVES NORTH......TOWARDS THE NORTH POLE". |

where the **** is the other focus
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. |
