Lecture

Dynamics in Accelerated Frames: Coriolis Force

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics in accelerated frames, focusing on the Coriolis force. It explains the second law of Newton in an accelerated reference frame, detailing the effective force and the Coriolis force. Examples include the Coriolis effect on moving objects on Earth's surface and the rotation of a Foucault pendulum. The lecture also discusses the Coriolis force in different hemispheres, its impact on weather systems, and the direction of winds. The concept of forces in inertial and accelerated frames is explored, emphasizing the Coriolis force's role in various phenomena.
