The Force which is exerted on mass due to rotation of the Earth. Neat stuff to dispel the myth that water runs away one way in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite way in the Southern Hemisphere!

  • @brunoistheonetruegod I doubt it.

  • Obit

  • does not compute

  • NERD

  • WHAT IF THEY WERE TURNING IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR? WOULD THE BALL GO THE SAME WAY? AND WHAT IS THEY WERE SPINNING COUNTERCLOCKWISE NORTH OF THE EQUATOR?

  • @Necron3211 true, even when you hit his other arm, his body, head etc. It was because of COD4 that I watched this.

  • oh i think i get it now! the paths are always the same.. they just look different at a different perspective!

  • it's not that the ball appears straight while above the merry-go-round but that the destination toward which the kid pushed the ball is achieved at the end of the spin or standing still

  • Its straight from above because the ball is on the surface so its moving with the merry go round. If the ball was in the air the merry go round would move but the ball would go straight
