What is the Coriolis Force?

1 answer:

7 0

It's a virtual force ... one that seems to be there but isn't really there.

When something tries to fly or flow straight, through a rotating neighborhood, it ends up flying or flowing in a curved path, AS IF there were a force acting on it to make it curve. THAT apparent force is the Coriolis force.

It's what makes air, flowing away from high pressure or into low pressure, form the big rotating pressure systems on the rotating Earth.

A ball thrown in to the air starts out with an initial upward velocity but eventually slows and stops before falling back to the

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

b) The downward force of gravity

Explanation:

The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:

$\sum F=m.a$

right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):

$m.g=m.a\\a=g$

so the object will eventually be going down again.
