Hello,
I am stuck on the coriolis force. If an object is dropped how do I get the eastward deflection when looking from an inertial frame? I know how from the rotating frame but for some reason I am stuck, i.e. what terms to use.
Also, if I throw a ball straight up from Earth what is the westward deflection, do I solve this twice? Once for the ball moving up and then again once it is at the max height falling down?
Thank you
