Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a hurricane's wind speed is 30 m/s in the Northern Hemisphere, calculate its Coriolis acceleration at a latitude of 30 degrees, where the angular velocity of the Earth is approximately 7.292 x 10^-5 rad/s.
💡 Hint: Remember to account for the sine of the latitude.
Question 2
Discuss how the direction of Coriolis acceleration would differ if observed from the equator to the poles in terms of its effect on weather systems.
💡 Hint: Think about the rotation speed of the Earth and how it changes with latitude.
