Coriolis Effect Kit
Coriolis Effect Kit:
This is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation, the force acts to the right. Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis effect.
Specifications:
- As the steel spheres track a pattern on the kit’s turntable.
- Students simulate the effect of the Earth’s rotation on winds, ocean currents and material objects.
