1. 1 Centrifugal and Coriolis forces Read Ch 9 – Next HW Due Tues 11/11 [L14-1,9.1, 9.2,9.3, 9.8, 9.11, 9.16, 9.18] Interpreting the Centrifugal force (deviation of g vector). Latitude dependent weight Intepreting Coriolis. Deriving deflections at different latitudes.

2. 2 Coriolis force for a rocket going up is West

3. 3 Problem L14-1 :30 A 100 kg weather rocket is launched straight up from Langmuir Lab. At t=10 sec, it’s velocity is 100 m/s. At t=100 sec, it’s velocity is 1000 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction of the Coriolis force at t=10 and 100 sec? An airplane flies due North from Albuquerque. Because of Coriolis force, the airplane will be deflected from its true North path A) Which direction will the deflection be in? B) How many miles off course will the airplane be after one hour? Assume v=300 m/s.
