How would the Coriolis effect change the path of a ball that is thrown a long distance from Earth's equator?A. A ball thrown straight east would curve to the left due to Earth'srevolution around the Sun.B. A ball thrown straight south would curve to the right due to Earth's revolution around the Sun.C. A ball thrown straight east would curve to the right due to Earth'srotation about its axis.D. A ball thrown straight south would curve to the left due to Earth's rotation about its axis.

Respuesta :

The Coriolis force is a force that acts on the objects in motion within a rotating frame of reference.

The Coriolis force is strongest at the poles and starts to weaken as we move towards the equator. Thus if a ball is thrown towards one of the poles from the equator the ball will be deflected towards the east. So, if the ball is thrown straight south, the ball will deflect to the left due to the earth's rotation.
