Coriolis Carousel The Coriolis force is an apparent force caused by observing motion within a rotating system, like the Earth. It results in the deflection of moving objects and depends on the rotation direction and the object’s motion. Motionless Platform: On a non-rotating platform, there is no Coriolis force, so objects move in straight lines unless influenced by other forces. Anti-Clockwise Rotating Platform: On an anti-clockwise rotating platform (viewed from above), the Coriolis force defl
