Coriolis Effect Demonstration (with Drones)

We demonstrate how rotating reference frames give rise to the Coriolis effect and centrifugal acceleration. In this video, we approach this as a simple physics demonstration and examine several scenarios where the Coriolis effect manifests. In a separate video, we provide a rigorous analysis of these scenarios to mathematically describe what is occurring.
