An estimate of the height from which a particle must be dropped (on Earth) to see a significant amount of horizontal deflection due to the Coriolis force. The relevant equation is derived here: • Coriolis force: deflec...
About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
