I still don't quite get it. Perhaps I don't quite understand your explanation. I mean, both forces' magnitude are dependent on latitude, and since the sin(latitude).
However, I would expect the other values in the equation to be different and calculated separately for each force - Ω, for...
Yes, I'm sorry for not being clear. My question is about the effects magnitude.
Looking at sniping sheets, the horizontal deviation is calculated as follows:
HDeviation = (Ω * Rangeft2 * sin(latitude)) / VelocityAvg
Direction of shooting is not taken into account. Is it merely a...
Thanks! Got it. However, looking at some sniper data, it seems bullets will deviate at a given point exactly the same amount/distance, when either shooting towards the east/west or north/south.
My followup question is - why? As you said, the latitude curving is not the same as the coriolis...
Oh, I understand. However, how come the deviation caused by those latitude lines curving is exactly the same as caused by the velocity differences? Is it coincidence or is it the nature of all spheres?
Given an example of a rifle bullet traveling east or west, why does the bullet deviates HORIZONTALLY? (right on the northern hemisphere, left on the southern hemisphere)
As rotation speed in the same latitude coordinates stays roughly the same, I wouldn't expect the bullet, or any other...
