Spinning at the North Pole: Equator to Arctic Teleportation

AI Thread Summary
Teleporting from the equator to the North Pole results in traveling at 465 meters per second, exceeding the speed of sound. Upon arrival, a person would be lying down rather than standing, as their orientation changes drastically. Despite the high speed, relative to the surroundings, there would be no spinning effect since both the person and the Earth rotate at the same rate. The discussion raises questions about the implications of this scenario on vorticity, although the connection remains unclear. Overall, the teleportation experience highlights the complexities of motion and orientation in relation to Earth's rotation.

If You are suddenly teleported from the equator to the north pole. How fast and which way will you be spinning relative to your surroundings?

Spinning will be the least of my problems. If I was standing up, I will now be lying down. And I will be traveling at 465 meter/sec, which is more than the speed of sound, about Mach 1.4.
 
Relative to your surroundings, you will not be spinning at all. Both you and the surroundings spin at approximately 1 revolution per day, and in the same direction.
 
What does this have to do with vorticity?
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
