Chapter 45, Problem 4TY
Summary Introduction
To determine:
If the given statement is true or false.
Introduction:
Even though the rocket has been fired from the south pole towards the equator, by the time it reaches the equator, it has been bend towards the east before landing down. It occurs due to the Coriolis force. It is a force experienced by any mass moving in the rotating system and acts perpendicular to the direction of motion and axis of the rotation.

the moons position among the stars was observed at moonrise. six hours and 12 min later the moon happened to be exactly at the zenith. its position among the stars by them had shifted to the east by 148 arcmin. on the other hand the moons orbital motion alone would cause it to move eastward on the celestial sphere at the rate of 33 arcmin/hr. find the distance to the moon. compare your results with the average value of the distance to the moon

- Figure 1. Ultraviolet Radiation Index across the World. The colors on this map of the world represent Ultraviolet (UV) Index values on a particular day in September 2015. The UV Index is a standardized scale of UV radiation intensity running from 0 (least intense) to 18 (most intense). The y-axis values are degrees of latitude, which range from the equator (0°) to the poles (90° north and −90° south). The x-axis values are degrees of longitude, which range from the prime meridian (0°) to the antemeridian (180° east and −180° west).
