Conservation of gravitational energy. The force of gravity causes force towards the center of the earth and the "curl conservation force" points away from the center.
0=dV/dt + cDelxV + R' cDel.V, the curl DelxV is the counter force circulating anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. R' is the radial unit vector.
However, this only applies (noticeably) to systems of sufficient magnitude, such as hurricanes. Toilets and sinks are far too small for the Coriolis Force to influence rotation.
What else can I help you with?
What direction is the equtor?
The equator is an imaginary line that circles Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. It runs east and west around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
Which way does water go down a drain?
Contrary to popular belief, the water is not affected by the motion of the Earth, or by which hemisphere the bowl is in.Water drains in a downward direction. How water goes down the plughole is determined by the state of the water when the plug is pulled, the construction of the bowl, and the shape and size of the plughole. It doesn't always go the same way. The vortex direction is dependent on small local factors, and the slightest impulse (motion, temperature) makes it unpredictably random.On a larger scale, the airflow into cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere is counter-clockwise, and in the Southern hemisphere clockwise. So if the Coriolis effect were the dominant factor, that would be the direction of the draining.
Do tornadoes spin clockwise or counterclockwise fact or fiction?
they go both ways. More than 99% of tornadoes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. For less than 1% of tornadoes the opposite is true. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
What direction does the wind move if there is a high pressure system?
The coriolis effect causes wind to move in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere if there is a high pressure system, and counterclockwise around high pressure in the southern hemisphere. The coriolis effect is caused by the spinning of the earth. Points near the equator actually move faster than those near the poles, because they have farther to go for a complete rotation.
What is the corilois effect?
The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when they are viewed from a rotating frame of reference.Give this a try, take a ball and go to you local playground and see if there is a roundabout. First with the roundabout still role the ball across the base. you will see it travels in a straight line. Now spin the roundabout slowly and role the ball across the base again and you will see that it now travels in a curve.On earth the spin of the planet affects fluids traveling north or south from the equator to the poles and the coriolis force causes the fluids to appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?
it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres
What direction does the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere go in?
south and north
What hemisphere is south of Texas?
Northern and also the southern hemisphere.
Why does your friend have to pack a winter coat when she is in the southern hemisphere and she wants to go to the northern hemisphere?
It is colder in the northern hemisphere and the seasons are opposite. So, while it is summertime in the southern hemisphere where your friend lives, it would be snowing in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, you'd need a jacket.
Do high pressure go clockwise?
In the northern hemisphere, yes.
How can you go from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere when you travel from southern Ecuador to northern Ecuador?
You can go from the Southern hemisphere to the northern one by visiting the monument of the Middle of the World near the city of Quito. With just one step you can cross the equator from North to South and vice-versa.
Are there penguins in the northern hemisphere?
Penguins are antarctic where you also find the south pole. Different species of penguins go farther north, but none into the northern hemisphere. These animals are sea birds and find their food chain in ocean water.
What direction is the equtor?
The equator is an imaginary line that circles Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. It runs east and west around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
Is Argentina in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Argentina is in the southern hemisphere.
What direction should you go if you wanted to weigh less in the Northern Hemisphere?
South
If you were in Dallas,Texas,What direction would you go to get to the equater?
South because the USA is in the northern hemisphere.
What direction does water flow down in Australia?
No trip to the equator is complete without a real-life demonstration of this phenomenon.Tourists watch as their guide shows them water swirling out in one direction, and when they step over the equator, it goes out the other, and as people say. seeing is believing. Or is it?It is true that the Coriolis force works slowly and takes its time, but it is thought that it turns storms in the northern hemisphere clockwise, and turns storms in the southern hemisphere anticlockwise. As a result, many people believe that, due to the Coriolis force, that water goes down the plughole in Australia anticlockwise, and in London, clockwise.This is not true. Water does swirl as it goes down the plughole, but the real influences are where the plughole and tap are positioned.Storms being whirled around by the Coriolis force and water going down plugholes are completely unrelated.No matter where you are, it can go either way.Partly quoted from Actually Factually by Guy Campbell
