Mr Coriolis


What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?

The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.


What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?

The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around


What currents are influences by the Coriolis effect?

Surface Currents


What factors influence a Coriolis force?

The formula to calculate the acceleration caused by the Coriolis term is: f=2*omega*sin(phi)*v where: -omega is the rotating speed of the Earth around its z-axis (= +/- 2pi radians per 86400 seconds) -phi is the latitude -v is the speed of the object. The get it`s magnitude, simply multiply by the mass of the object.


How do you find the magnitude in force?

Actually you answer itself is wrong. You can only find the magnitude of force, not the magnitude in force. You can find the magnitude of force by s = (1/2)*a*t^2


What is the name of the force that causes wind to blow?

Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force. The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.


If Refers To The Size Or Strength Of The Force?

The "size" of a vector quantity - such as a force - is often called a MAGNITUDE.
