  • The Force which is exerted on mass due to rotation of the Earth. Neat stuff to dispel the myth that water runs away one way in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite way in the Southern Hemisphere!

    Hold up a straight edge (piece of paper) to the path of the ball and keep replaying the part where one releases the ball (hover over the progress bar and click repeatedly). The edge of the ball should follow the edge of the paper. Any perception otherwise is merely your mind playing tricks on you.

    in short: don't. Video games don't calculate the coriolis force into the trajectaries of objects. Though irl you should know what direction you're shooting in. If you're shooting to the east or west, there's no effect. If you're shooting to the north the bullet will appear to bend to the left, to the south it will appear to bend to the right. So if your target is north of you, aim right of his head. If he's south of you, aim left of his head. Be aware the effect is small over small distances.

    • @DamianReloaded

      because you're watching it in relation to the kids on the merry go round. You're interpreting the intentions of the kid throwing the ball and seeing the ball doesn't follow the path the kid intended for it to follow. If you edited the video and you erased everything but the ball you'd only see the ball moving on a straight line to the right at 0:02 and straight (ish) upwards at 0:05 . The experiment in the video isn't perfect though because there is friction between the ball and the merry go round making the ball pick "some effect" as it starts moving.

      @harvich 7 років тому +4

      Bullshit dude; you failed to look past your nose. Even though we have been showed two interpretations of events and the one straight line interpretation appears to be slightly curved: this is because you have not looked at the third possibility when the argument was deceptively posed using only two possibilities, when in actuality there are three. The curvature seen by the stationary observer might be seen as a sort of reciprocal mirror image depending whether the ball is tossed with a vector agreeing with the rotation or against it. There should be three possible viewpoints and not just two.

    At 4 secs in, the person in the red lets go of the ball at 6 o' clock and at 5 secs in, the person in green catches it at 12 o' clock. So, even though it may not seem straight, it is.

    It is, your mind is automatically tracking the rotation of the merry go round and using it as a point of reference.
    Try focusing on the shadows next to the merry go round and tracking the path of the ball with your peripheral vision.

    @rowanbooker I was thinking of a very slippery snail. (obviously)
    And I could make the very same complaint about your aircraft, since it's attacherd to the air that it flies through, and it doesn't at all float freely in space.

  • @jaappdc
    @jaappdc 15 років тому

    Well imaging an airplane that has to go from LA to London, if the pilot don't considered the coriolis effect he might ended up in another place because London "move" from its original place related to the time it was when the airplane leaves LA.
    Sniper rounds will not appear to fly in a straight line from the shooter to the target because of the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Rather, the round or shell will appear to curve. But this effect only is appreciable in distance longer than 2000m

    • @oknar1977

    Its straight from above because the ball is on the surface so its moving with the merry go round. If the ball was in the air the merry go round would move but the ball would go straight

  • @schuegrafma
    @schuegrafma 15 років тому

    Like others, I also researched this because I wanted to know what McMillan was trying to tell me in the sniping COD4 mission.
    Now after watching this video I have one question directed at anyone who knows how to answer it: how does the coriolis force affect the path of a bullet and where do you have to aim to undo its effect?

  • @TakesTwoToTango
    @TakesTwoToTango 14 років тому

    Diff question. It's not a force...
    It stands loose of gravity and air and w/e. But it is not a real force, the ppl on the wheel are just in an accelerating frame of reverence (thus a non-inertial one). That means the laws of newton don't apply there. The force is just an operator you apply to all objects in order to acheive an inertial frame of reference, thus getting a system where the laws of newton are valid, but strange things appear to happen.

  • @VeteranVandal
    @VeteranVandal 8 років тому

    +Necron3211 According to the calculation I made (but I had to make lots of approximations, which are good, but make me more skeptical about the final number, btu not on the order of magnetude of the number), the effect had between 1.5 and 0.5 cm (depending mostly on the firearm used and on the direction of the shot), so it could be very significant if you were trying to shoot the neck (~10cm) with only one shot. Other factors are more important than that at distances between, say 500m and 1500m - as far as I can tell nobody really did anything beyond, say 3000m shot killing the target - but an error of the order of centimeters can be quite bad in such situations.

    @idm071 13 років тому

    To see that the ball is moving in a straight line (from above), only focus on the ball and the background, do not pay attention to the people on the merry go round or the merry go round itself.

  • @jaappdc
    @jaappdc 15 років тому

    The coriolis "force" affect the bullet because the bullet is moving in a rotating surface, remember that the earth is rotating and in the case of a sniper, the bullet has to travel a long distance that is the reason the sniper has to considered the coriolis "force" and so do airplanes when travel long distances. Sorry for my english xD

  • @banana3695

  • @gtamodman122
    @gtamodman122 14 років тому

    @PawelKolasa of course the coriolis effect exists,many people experience it in their daily life there are so many damn examples about it and normal troops dont really have to take it into account as their main purpose is to fire at medium ranges so the bullett isnt really affected same thing happens with the cannons but sniper shots taken from loooong distances have a shiload of things which can affect the bullet one of them is the coriolis force

  • @GrifOli
    @GrifOli 14 років тому

    Gravity is another fictitious force that acts on a body in a non-inertial frame of reference (like the Coriolis force).
    The best way you can "see" a pure force is when there is only that force that is acting on a body. So the Coriolis force would be more predictable if there wasn't air drag and friction (friction is due to gravity).
    But be careful because fictitious force do not always obey the Newton's 3rd law (read about quantum mechanics).

  • @caomaco

    Eum no, this video isn't confusing at all. Watch the guy in yellow passing the ball. The ball follows a perfect straight line from 0:03 to 0:04. Watch it again, because you missed it.

  • @godly04
    @godly04 15 років тому

    THis already is a demonstration of Coriolis on ballistics.. just replace ball with bullet........
    Also there's no real point in caring about the coriolis effect if for instance, you were a sniper.. since it isn't noticable inside of a distance of about 1000 yards.

    IF Coriolis force is real, woulnd't the artillery soldiers to account for it?
    Myth has it, but does the REALITY?
    HOW exactly is it implemented in a CANON?
    I don't think so.
    Now, Coriolis force is just PERCEPTION of an OBSERVER and therefore is NOT a real force at all, but a PERCEPTION of a trajectory.
    And it's a perception of CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.
    Again, Coriolis force doesn't exist, it's a PERCEPTION of a TRAJECTORY.
    I'm the first to blow a whistle on this one.

    Invalid test, need to redo test do the same thing but inside some kind of bubble! The air and everything inside a bubble will be equal (air inside would be still from air outside) and be valid for testing coriolis force. Spinning without a bubble the air is moving invalid for testing. I would love to see this test re done!

    "Gravity magically glues the entirety of the atmosphere to the surface of the rotating Earth such that the Coriolis effect cannot be detected"
    ok, so the coriolis effect CANT be detected then?
    "No, it can, just only when it's convenient for the argument to avoid being blatantly shown as false"
