Formula and methodology
Formula: aC=2Ωv sin|φ|.
The latitude factor is evaluated in radians and the result is reported as an acceleration magnitude.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Object speed — m/s; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Latitude magnitude — °; minimum 0; maximum 90
- Planetary rotation rate — rad/s; minimum 0; maximum 1000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Object speed | 10 |
| Latitude magnitude | 45 |
| Planetary rotation rate | 7.2921159E-5 |
Coriolis acceleration is approximately 0.00103 m/s².
Assumptions and limits
- Speed and rotation rate are nonnegative and latitude magnitude is between 0° and 90°.
- The motion is local and the rotating body is treated as spherical with constant rotation.
- Centrifugal acceleration, curvature, winds, friction, and vertical Coriolis components are not modeled.
