Question

A bullet is fired northward at a latitude of 30 degrees south. It flies at 800m/s over a distance of 1200m. How much of a deflection is expected from the Coriolis force (and acceleration), and in which direction? Do this with kinematics and assume the deflection is small enough that it doesn't affect the time of arrival or the actual path length (1200m) to the target.
