That's a pretty good site even if it is from a bullshit school.

Because the Earth's angular velocity is so small (360 degrees per day, or about 7 x 10-5 radians per second), the Coriolis effect isn't really significant over small distances (As equation 1 shows, high velocity also can make a difference, but for the purposes of this paper small distance-high speed effects will not be considered).

So it depends on how far past the equator you are going and how heavy the object is. Like I said it should be negligible.
