Centrifugal and Coriolis forces

• Read Ch 9 Next HW Due Tues 11/11 L14-1,9.1,
  9.2,9.3, 9.8, 9.11, 9.16, 9.18
• Interpreting the Centrifugal force (deviation of
  g vector). Latitude dependent weight
• Intepreting Coriolis. Deriving deflections at
  different latitudes.

Problem L14-1

• A 100 kg weather rocket is launched straight up
  from Langmuir Lab. At t10 sec, its velocity is
  100 m/s. At t100 sec, its velocity is 1000
  m/s.
• What is the magnitude and direction of the
  Coriolis force at t10 and 100 sec?
• An airplane flies due North from Albuquerque.
  Because of Coriolis force, the airplane will be
  deflected from its true North path
• A) Which direction will the deflection be in?
• B) How many miles off course will the airplane be
  after one hour? Assume v300 m/s.
