Question

how would the Coriolis effect change the path of a ball that is thrown a long distance from earth's equator?

Answer 1

Answer:

The effect is strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator. If an object starts flying northward or southward from the equator, it will be deflected eastward due to the Earth's counterclockwise rotation. ... The Coriolis effect is realized in how Earth's rotation affects the direction of objects flying long distances.

Answer 2

The way that the Coriolis effect would change the direction of the ball is:  A ball thrown straight south would curve to the left due to Earth's rotation about its axis.

What is the Coriolis effect?

This effect is known to happen as an object that is rotating around a mass gets to experience a force that is perpendicular to the motion and the rotation.

This effect is known to cause deflections to the North or South of the hemisphere.
