where

w: w (1/s)
v: v (m/s)
a: Coriolis scale (mm/s²)

Lecture brief

Historical brief

Newtonian mechanics (1687) plus energy, angular momentum, Kepler and the ballistic parabola remain the first language of motion. Every sheet here is a closed-form orbit, throw, spin or oscillator. This sheet (CLS-29 — Coriolis scale) is the form associated with Coriolis scale. Working symbols: $w$ , $v$ $\rightarrow$ $a$ . Order of the Coriolis acceleration. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

Purpose

Purpose: compute

a

from

w

v

in Classical mechanics via

a=2\omega v

Order of the Coriolis acceleration. Use it when a real classical mechanics question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

w = 7.290e-5\,\mathrm{1/s}

v = 20.000\,\mathrm{m/s}

, the governing relation

a=2\omega v

yields

a = 2.916\,\mathrm{mm/s^{2}}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
