Coriolis force: deflection of a falling particle
By how much does a falling particle deviate from a vertical trajectory due to the fictitious Coriolis force? Here's how we can derive an answer to this question, and how we can intuitively understand why the deflection occurs. About me: I studied Physics at the University of Cambridge, then stayed on to get a PhD in Astronomy. During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.

How high up should we go to see a significant Coriolis-induced deflection?
