Coriolis acceleration

In particular, besides the Coriolis acceleration, the centrifugal force plays an essential role.

Linear and coriolis accelerations are omitted from the analysis.

The situation could be described as a circular motion combined with an "apparent Coriolis acceleration" of 2ωv.

The Coriolis effect is the behavior added by the Coriolis acceleration.

The rotation produced a maddening Coriolis acceleration.

Notice for a the components (-rω) and 2ωdr/dt are the centripetal and Coriolis accelerations respectively.

The asymmetry between the prograde and retrograde satellites can be explained very intuitively by the Coriolis acceleration in the frame rotating with the planet.

The formula implies that the Coriolis acceleration is perpendicular both to the direction of the velocity of the moving mass and to the frame's rotation axis.

In the micromechanical type, the Coriolis acceleration is measured by a micro-mechanical capacitive acceleration sensor placed on an oscillating element.

When considering atmospheric or oceanic dynamics, the vertical velocity is small, and the vertical component of the Coriolis acceleration is small compared to gravity.

It is commonly used in geophysical phenomena in the oceans and atmosphere, where it characterizes the importance of Coriolis accelerations arising from planetary rotation.

A DC sensitive angular rate sensor or gyroscope has a more complex design and uses measurement of Coriolis acceleration to determine angular rate.

The Earth's rotation imparts an acceleration known as the Coriolis effect, Coriolis acceleration, or colloquially, Coriolis force.

Coriolis acceleration is also responsible for the propagation of many types of waves in the ocean and atmosphere, including Rossby waves and Kelvin waves.

The stator would stretch nearly horizontally, rising perhaps four kilometers in three hundred and in a straight line-almost straight, as Coriolis acceleration and other minor variables make it a gentle curve.

Collecting this and the other spatial terms (2, 3) into one equation gives The terms on the right-hand side are just the standard expressions for the Coriolis acceleration and centrifugal acceleration in a rotating frame.

It is seen that the Coriolis acceleration not only cancels the centrifugal acceleration, but together they provide a net "centripetal", radially inward component of acceleration (that is, directed toward the centre of rotation):

In non-vector terms: at a given rate of rotation of the observer, the magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration of the object is proportional to the velocity of the object and also to the sine of the angle between the direction of movement of the object and the axis of rotation.

Because this reference frame rotates several times a minute rather than only once a day like the Earth, the Coriolis acceleration produced is many times larger and so easier to observe on small time and spatial scales than is the Coriolis acceleration caused by the rotation of the Earth.
