Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cyclist moves with a speed of 10 m/s on a straight road, but suddenly turns at a constant rate. Calculate the Coriolis acceleration experienced if the rate of turn is 2 rad/s.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to always double-check your units!

Question 2

Explain how the Coriolis effect influences the direction of hurricanes in both hemispheres. Illustrate your response with a diagram showing the rotation of air masses.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the rotation of the Earth deflects air currents.
