Coriolis Force
The Coriolis effect is an effect
that most of us do not notice and
do not need to observe in daily life.
However, this effect is so important
that it is vital in some industries. In
order for a missile or a shuttle
launched into space to reach its
destination and land in a healthy
way, the Coriolis effect should be
included in the calculations and its
orbits should be determined
accordingly. Otherwise, millions of
dollars of investments, a lot of
effort, and research will be lost in
the space before they reach their
goals.
