Question

what do you mean by coriolis force

Answer 1

The Coriolis force is an inertial force that seems to act on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. As air moves from high to low pressure in the northern hemisphere, it is deflected to the right by the Coriolis force.

Answer 2

Inertial Force

Explanation:

• An apparent force that as a result of the earth's rotation deflects moving objects to the right in northern hemisphere and to the left in southern hemisphere is known as Coriolis force.
• Deflection of any object due to the Coriolis force is said as Coriolis effect.
• When Newton's laws are converted to a rotating frame of reference, the Coriolis as well as centrifugal accelerations appear.
• The Coriolis force is directly proportional to the rotation rate.
• In the 20th century, the Coriolis force started to be used in connection with meteorology.
