[@TomZychowski]

@@av6966 Its a trick bro, watch the video back, the water is rotating in the sink already because of how it is poured in, the Coriolis effect on that little volume of water emptying in seconds is minuscule, not enough to do what they claim it is doing

[@m_7_1_45]

[@mlccrl]

maybe because you don't pay attention to your professor's explanations. Are u playing with your cell ,talking to your mates or simply falling asleep for all the cannabis you've smoked in the toilet?

[@sorenficklin5884]

​@@mlccrl For one thing, I'm not sure why you'd target me in this warlike campaign against an archetype that in no way resembles me. For another, I'm not sure what would even lead you to think that I smoked cannabis on the toilet! I mean, were YOU high while you wrote that? I took time out of my day to find a video explaining a scientific concept that my teacher explained poorly, whereas you took time out of your day to put down and insult a person for looking to the internet to answer an academic question. Based on the little (but illuminating) evidence present, I'd say that it would be easy, even for a cannabis smoking toilet dweller, to determine who's making better life choices here. Good day.

[@mlccrl]

@@sorenficklin5884 You took the chance to promote yourself as a bright example of perfect student. So u can promote yourself as u wish but the fact is that all the students put the blame on professors to justify their behaviour which makes impossible any kind of learning even with a Nobel prize as teacher. This is the real act of war, to disparage professionals to hide personal responsabilities.

[@sorenficklin5884]

@@mlccrl I would never disparage a teacher. He is teaching an introductory class to oceanography and didn’t have much time at all to describe the concept, so i needed to turn to online sources to get the full scoop on how the Coriolis effect works. Also don’t know what you’re talking about from a standpoint of self promotion, but go off.

[@alecericson7040]

So that's what Cpt. Price was on about in COD 4, still confused on how it affects bullets though.

[@AtlasPro1]

I guess if the bullet travels FAR enough, coriolis might influence its path, but for most cases, coriolis effect should be negligible

[@Boxsteam]

Probably the same thing, but replace the cloud with the bullet

[@Exist64]

I have heard stories if snipers taking shots over absurd distances, around 2-3km and I wonder if they had to consider the coriolis effect. I doubt it but if so it must be impossible to estimate, right?

[@Boxsteam]

@@Exist64 at extremely long distances, they do have to take the coriolis effect into account

@L L it's magnus and coriolis. But magnus is in any modern weaponry and any distance. It's a given

[@anthonyATteamMUROC]

Subscribed. Why...because you were the only person to mention not only air coming from the equator but also air coming back towards it, hence this is how the direction of spin is determined. Most others don't mention this. Good stuff and nice and simple to follow.

[@dr.harsh0315]

OMG, LOVE YOU SOO MUCH WHOEVER YOU ARE BROTHER!

[@Ratkas007]

I have always thought about the coriolis effect. All the videos that explain this effect always show an object traveling from the equator to the poles or vice versa. That makes sense because as you are traveling the surface speed changes underneath you. What if you are at the 45 deg line and you travel / shoot directly with or against the earths rotation? The coriolis effect cannot have an influence because no surface speed change is present. You will however shoot low or high due to the rotation of the earth depending if you shoot towards or against the rotation.

[@TEAisok]

By the time your bullet hits the target the earth's spin has moved your target

[@Jack-lp4jd]

I was trying to think of an analogy to try and help you understand but I cant think of one thats any good. As a Mechanical Engineer Major mechanical Forces and Motion are just very inituitive for me so am able to visualize it quite easily. Sometimes you just gotta have the right brain for different stuff. Similar how Electricity and Magnetism makes No sense to me, but is somehow very intuitive for Electrical Engineers. Because it isnt intuitive for you, your probably gonna wanna watch a more in depth explanation/ analysis.

[@clip-it-triz]

never do i…

[@johngeraghty1142]

Funny how they say long range snipers have to adjust for the earths rotation.. but you can't get in a hot air balloon and let the earth move beneath you because the atmosphere spins too? Seems a bit strange.

[@Athenabadassinthearena]

[@lisahadleyhill2782]

Love this! But I have to make a correction. The air in the northern hemisphere entering the low pressure system of a hurricane deflects to the right -for BOTH the fast moving equatorial air and the slow moving polar air. It is animated correctly but the audio is incorrect. You have to put yourself from the perspective of the wind's motion. It is moving from north to south so a rightward deflection would be to the west. Would LOVE it if you could post a correction. I will be using this with my classroom!

[@AtlasPro1]

Glad to see people using this :) I don't think I'll be able to make any corrections, but I think everything is explained correctly. I don't like changing reference points during an explanation because in my mind that's how things get confusing, To see the air moving to the right from the N-S direction, you'd need to flip the map around, changing perspective entirely. Just my thoughts though, I hope your students enjoy!

[@lisahadleyhill2782]

Yep. I understand the frame of reference change can be jarring. Even if it is potentially confusing, I prefer everything be 100% accurate. It helps them to know there is a 'rule' of right deflection in the north and left deflection in the south. The video is certainly very high quality that it is worth showing and I will give the disclaimer directly to students when viewing. Thank you! You have made a difficult concept understandable.

[@AtlasPro1]

that's fair, I've never taught a class on this. Can I ask what grade you're teaching?

I work for a carnival, and when I first started there i was the one to explain to all my coworkers why all of our rides are designed to spin counter clockwise and not clockwise. They knew that for some reason or another, mechanisms that rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere accumulate more wear and tear and thus require more maintenance than ones that spin counterclockwise. But they didn’t understand why, and some of them even assumed it was all a conspiracy

Hurricanes aren't called differently based on hemisphere, but based on the ocean they form in. I live in the Philippines, which while close to the equator is decidedly in the northern hemisphere. We call them typhoons, as they originate in the northwest Pacific.
