How do you think the Coriolis effect would change if the Earth rotated twice as fast as it does?

Question

Explain clearly.

10 Points for first correct explaination and answer!!!!

Answer 1

The equation for the Coriolis force is:

F_C = -2m(w x v)

where m = mass of a relevant object, w = the angular velocity vector (which by the way is what would change in the equation if the earth spun twice as fast), and v = velocity of the relevant object.

So honestly the answer, if you use the Coriolis equations, will be that the Coriolis force (and acceleration) will be twice as strong.

Anti-climactic i know.

edit: i dont know what more you want. The other coriolis equation is for Coriolis acceleration:

A_C = -2w x v

with the values representing the same things as they did before...and as before, you would double w if the earth spun twice as fast and you get a Coriolis acceleration which is twice as fast.

Answer 2

The coriolis effect would remain exactly the same except its effect would be doubled if the earth rotated twice as fast.

Answer 3

Corliss Effect
