Tracking the Coriolis Force
written by
Anne Cox
Tracking the Coriolis Force uses the Tracker video analysis tool to model the motion of a ball rolling with constant velocity on a rotating merry-go-round. Video includes the motion of the ball as viewed from the rotating reference frame of the merry-go-round. Using the Coriolis force equation, students build a model of the motion.
The trz file contains the activity handout, video and Tracker tab file. The video comes from YouTube and can be found at A talk about this activity from the AAPT Winter Meeting 2013 can be found at http://tinyurl.com/trackerCoriolis.
