Question

EXPLAIN STEPS: Do Coriolis effect and airplanes have something in common? Let's say that an airplane (m = 50,000 kg) takes off from London (α = 51.50° N) and travels to North America (to the west) with the velocity v = 500 km/h. With our Coriolis effect calculator we can compute that this airplane is subjected to the Coriolis force F ≈ 800 N which means that it deflects to the north with the acceleration a = F / m = 0.016 m/s²
