The mass m is dropped from a height h. Find the magnitude of
Coriolis deflection and its direction (i.e north south east or
west). You can assume location
being in the northern hemisphere at latitude θ and that rotation of
the Earth is slow.
Solutions
Expert Solution
The Coriolis force will cause a deflection from a
vertical path as the object falls. Lets call the 
direction the local upward vertical.
We need to pick two directions perpendicular to that to form a
coordinate system. We can choose the 
direction be be north and then we must
choose east to be in the 
direction to have a right handed
coordinate system.
Vz= -gt For a downward velocity, the Coriolis acceleration is to the east,
where 
will be a negative number.
One can integrate this equation to find the deflection when a
cannonball is dropped from a height 
.

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from
height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its
fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)=
-kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds
after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air
resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the
container touches the ground. and...

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of
1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.600 m.
What impulse was given to the ball by the floor?

A ball of mass 60 g is dropped from a height of 3.4 m.
It lands on the top of a ramp at height 1.8 m with a kinetic
friction coefficient of .3. The ramp is tilted at an angle of 20
degrees.
(a) What is the velocity of the ball at the top of the
ramp?
(b) At the bottom of the ramp it collides with and
sticks to a ball of mass 73 g. What is their velocity...

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a
building of height h. At
the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically upward from
ground level, such that it has zero speed when it reaches the top
of the building.
a) When do the two balls pass each other?
Answer it in terms of h.
b)Which ball has greater speed when they are
passing?
c)What is the height of the two balls when they
are passing?

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge at a height h
above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down at a time
t after the first is dropped. Both stones strike the water at the
same time. What is the initial speed of the second stone? Give your
answer in terms of the given variables and g.

Chapter 08, Problem 024. A block of mass m = 1.30 kg is dropped
from height h = 59.0 cm onto a spring of spring constant k = 1130

A problem involves a car of mass m going down a track
from a height H, and round a loop of radius r. The loop is
frictionless.
It asks for the minimum cut-off speed required, at the
highest point in the loop (call it point D), such that the car
makes it round the loop without falling. I know the solution; I
should set the centripetal accleration equal to 9.81. In other
words, contact force with the track at point...

A block of mass 4kg is dropped from a height of 2 meters on
Earth. If that block is taken to a different planet, where the
acceleration due to gravity is 1/4 as strong as it is on Earth, how
high should the block be dropped so that it hits the ground with
the same final velocity as on Earth? (Hint: you do not need to use
gravitational force for this) Express your answer to a maximum of 2
significant...
