One Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in one minute!

Does your toilet water drain differently than in the other hemisphere? Is it because of the Coriolis effect? Hank has some things to clarify about these questions, and more in this edition of I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means.

Rubber ducks aren’t just good for some bath time fun, they’ve also helped scientists learn about the world!

How does the Earth's rotation affect the speed of an aircraft and duration of a flight? Why is it longer to fly east to west? How does the Coriolis Effect and Jet Stream affect this? Join us as we explore and explain this phenomenon!

What is the Coriolis effect? How is it produced and how does it affect our weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. The way wind blows determines thunderstorms to hurricanes. The Coriolis Effect is a deflection of moving mass...

Dr. Forrester explains how wind and thunderstorms drive tornadoes and hurricanes.

To solve for the velocity of a point A moving relative to an object that is rotating then we can use the relative velocity (for rotating reference frames) equation:<b<br/>r/>

Va = Vb + Vrel + Vp/b

If the relative axes xy aren't rotating (w=0) then the acceleration equation becomes



Aa =

Ab + Aa/b

However, in general, relative reference axes can rotate and the following relative accelerat

¿Qué causa que haya huracanes, ciclones y tifones? ¿Es cierto que giran en diferentes direcciones dependiendo del hemisferio?

Los huracanes se forman debido a diferencias de presión causadas por el calor y la humedad en el...
