Has anyone here ever had to do a school science project related to the coriolis effect?
If so - is there an explanation about what happens to a projectile's trajectory if it crosses the equator? Does the trajectory eventually bend back on itself in the appropriate direction for the opposite hemisphere - or would it complete it's original curve?
(I am helping Rachel research this but much of the web-research sites are complicated beyond my reasoning.
) At least I did un-learn something I remember hearing from school, that is, the toilet doesn't necessarily flush in one direction or another depending on if you're here in Reno, or in Sydney Australia!
