Can we detect any coriolis forces induced from our circular orbit around the Sun ?
We're going in a big circle so we should be able to detect some coriolis if we deviate from that circle - ie if we move around a bit instead of following a perfect circular path.
Considering the Earth is spinning once per day we should be able to detect coriolis effects (forces or accelerations) at any single point on Earth's surface if we use accurate enough accelerometers. :-)
True or false ?
