Question

The arrows show the direction of rotation of the merry-go-round, which moves with a constant speed, moves with a constant speed causing a shift of 45?. assuming a child sitting in the center attempts to throw the ball directly to child d, which child will likely catch the ball?

Answer 1

This question is lacking especially the diagram, well I've read the entire question and seen its diagram and it demonstrates a Coriolis effect. The child that could get the ball would be child c. Well Coriolis effect is the deflection of a free moving object, such as ball, due to a rotation of the merry go round.
