1.5. If a baseball player throws a ball a horizontal distance of 100 m in 4s at 30° latitude, by how much is it deflected laterally as a result of the rotation of the earth. Notes: The direction of throw is not specified. The same result will be obtained no matter the chosen direction, but the simplest equation manipulations are for a northward throw with a constant meridional speed v. The first step is always to write down the three components of the coriolis force and cross out the terms that are not needed (which will leave us with the useful/needed terms to solve the problem). a. Write down a list of the given and asked information. hoiz. distance: 100m Hime:40 dieoltods 100 b.

Cancel out the unnecessary terms in part b – do it right there (there is no vertical motion and we are not concerned with vertical accelerations, there is no initial zonal motion) and write down the useful equation.
