A 12-kg projectile is launched vertically upward with an initial speed of 35 m/s from a football field in Minneapolis, MN. Required:
a. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Coriolis force on the projectile shortly after the projectile is launched.
b. What is the approximate direction of the Coriolis force on the projectile while the projectile is heading back toward the Earth?

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)
