Just like the example given above, we will analyze a football kick.

The Scenario: The Wildcats are down by two points to the Sun Devils with one second left in the game. The kicker lines up for a 50-yard field goal attempt to win the game. He is kicking the ball straight north. The ball is kicked, and it is heading straight for the left goal post. All that is needed for the Wildcats to win the game is for the ball to deflect 1/4 inch to the right and the field goal will be good. There is no wind and no spin on the ball, so the only hope is for the Coriolis Effect to cause the desired deflection. Given this scenario, how much does the ball move in flight and in what direction as a result of the Coriolis Effect? You have the following information to help you solve this problem.

The kick is traveling straight north from 50 yards away (45.72m).

The kick is occurring at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona (Latitude ~32N, Longitude ~110W)

The speed of the kick (V) = 34 mph (15.23m/s)

The time of flight for the kick (t) = 3 seconds

The angular of velocity of Earth is () = 7.2921159 X 10^-5/seconds

is latitude. North is positive, south is negative.

The formula for the amount of deflection caused by the Coriolis Effect is = 2sin()Vt²/2
