Absolutely fantastic demonstration. This can truly show anyone why it's a "fictitious" force, because it depends solely on the reference frame. Plus you're well dressed. Edit: Well a guy who puts "QED" at the end of his youtube comments like this is a serious forum replied to me with a long ramble contradicting what I thought I knew, the physics guy knew, and my physics teacher knew, and my dad knew, and a bunch of my friends knew and I was like "I don't want to say something untoward and I'm too busy to read all that", then I revised it to try to hint about why language might be the confusion factor, and now I'm realizing my notifications are never going to say less than the maximum number for a while so that's cool I guess. 🥴
Coriolis force is not fictitious. Imagine a rod rotating about one end. Now imagine a mass that is constrained to slide along the rod from the centre towards the moving end. As the mass moves radially outward it picks up tangential velocity ie: it accelerates in the tangential direction. The mass experiences a force normal to the rod that keeps its tangential velocity the same as the rods tangential velocity at every point. That force is the Coriolis force. No imagine that the same mass but it is not constrained to move along the rod. Since no forces act on the mass its tangential velocity does not increase as it moves away from the centre of rotation and it falls behind the rod. Coriolis force does not act in this case and the mass appears to describe a curve path with respect to the non-interial frame, but a straight path wrt to the inertial frame. That’s why its called the Coriolis “Effect.” QED
@@OneEyedJacker I'll have to think about this. Thanks for taking the time to write it up. Edit: I've been too busy to really think much about it so far, but I did want to add, I have always thought that terms like "fictitious" were a little dodgy to begin with. As in, for example, there are plenty of reasons to call a mirage an "illusion" but, it is also perfectly reasonable to say that because it is a phenomena with an underlying mechanism, it is also "really there". It may indeed come down to definitions of terms, and what is precisely being called "illusory" or "fictitious". I'll find a moment to dig into what you wrote and do it justice one of these days. 😔 (I should add, I am not trying to cast doubt on anything you said, I'm explicitly saying I haven't really had the mental bandwidth given everything going on for me and my own job to think very deeply about a youtube comment. I just wanted to gripe a little about the language we use sometimes to refer to technical things which can be misleading.)
Yes, there is no force involved and also there is not any difference of trajectory in the two views. Only an optical illusion. The motion of the ball in the dish is always cycloid if the dish is rotating. What do they claim is the meaning of the this effect? Something weird I bet.
@@OneEyedJacker, the force that you refer to as the Coriolis force is not actually Coriolis. In your example, the tangential force that drags the constrained mass in the azimuthal direction is real indeed, but that is not the Coriolis force in question. In your second example, where the mass is not constrained, you correctly state that the mass will fall behind the rotating rod. From the perspective of this rod, the mass is pushed back. That is the fictitious Coriolis force that “pushes” the mass. You are right that there is no actual force since the mass is moving in a straight line in an inertial frame. That is precisely why the Coriolis force is fictitious. I can understand why this misconception might have arisen. The video can be a little bit misleading because there is friction that drags the balls along the rotation, and this dragging force is real. Maybe it would have been better to showcase the effect with sliding objects instead. The cycloidal motion would still be present in the rotating frame.
@@whattha930 Not sure if troll. As a marksmanship instructor, I know enough about Earth's curvature and rotation to know that if you're being serious with this comment, you know little to nothing about geophysics.
Very nice, thank you. We did the theory in school, but I never saw it in practice. It's far more relevant to see it in this way than on a computer graphics simulation!
*James Bond: **_"Do you expect me to talk, Dr. Coriolis!?!?_* *Dr. Coriolios: **_"No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to experience acceleration in a non-inertial reference frame!"_*
As a scientist I have to say you have made the best explanation so far or maybe ever of Coriolis force. You really know your stuff. Congratulations! This is a great discovery and show at the same time. I will pass on this link to my fellows.
You can find two videos on the Coriolis force and electromagnetic phenomena in my playlist on the Coriolis force. When it comes to the Coriolis force, please keep in mind that it can not change the speed of an object, only the direction. So, this force does no work. I also have separate videos on that.
In Seattle, back in the 1970s, at the corner of 45th and University Way was a drinking fountain that pivoted around the center but the stream was towards the center. When you rotated it the water would curve in the 'wrong' way. Great demonstration.
The Coriolis effect comes up in accurate long range shooting. I can accept the need to adjust for it but, did not have a good understanding of why. Now I understand. I also appreciate the example of the inertial and non-inertial reference planes. I am now more amazed at the understanding of physics needed to hit a target with indirect fire.
I went to a shooting range in Texas and then calculated the bullet deflection caused by the Coriolis force. Check out that video. Although it's not long range shooting to be fair.
@godbluffvdogg Depends on the range and the compass direction. Extreme long range shots have had to account for it, such as the record-setting shots by a Canadian sniper in 2017. The distance was 3,540 meters, well beyond typical sniper shots.
@@THall-vi8cp Bullshit...A sniper or long shot shooter only adjust for WINDAGE ...NOT THE "SPINNING OF THE EARTH" It's so asinine that people still try that lie... You can't bullshit me kid...I'm a Veteran.

Excellent demonstration, Thanks for the video. The curvature if the motion changes w.r.t reference point. What is the actual motion, straight line? What happens if you put a wet paint ball, will it draw straight lines?
Excellent demonstration sir! Was searching for these sort of demonstrations (as well as showing it mathematically, which you have done in other videos). Subscribed!
That was very informative, thank you. What I'd like to see is having the marble swinging back and forth but the marble is attached, by way of a string, to the rotating camera. Would the effect be the same? Since now the marble is not experiencing friction from the plate. I would venture to guess that the marble will swing in a straight line regardless of the position of the rotating camera.
I knew the Coriolis effect existed, but I didn't quite understand how it worked. This instantly brought understanding to me. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for showing us what we should see if the Earth was turning, so we never see this happen in nature, so thanks for proving our Earth doesn’t move!
So, which one are we actually seeing ? Is the marble actually making coriolis movements or straight ? I mean it can’t be both. - I take it the point is it depends on your frame of reference ? - Even though it ‘appears’ the marble is making parabolic movements it’s not really ? - If we were spinning at the same rate with the table, we would only see the Marne moving in a straight line back and forth yes ? - Luke others have suggested, what would an ink trail look like ? Parabolic from friction on the marble ? Why then are cyclones/hurricanes subject to Coriolis effect when the earth and atmosphere aren’t touching ? Is it because there’s still friction of the atmospheric air relative to the earth ?
Wow! Excelent demonstration. So now I have to think, what if marble left ink trails? Would they be curly, straight across, or what? Friction will keep them from going straight across. They would have to be curly. Not from the marble moving in curly direction. Its not. But from table spinning in circles.
Uhmm, but the rotating disc in not rotating on it's center point. If I look at the edge of the disc, I see it moving from left to right compared to a still background pointof reference. I would think that also causes a distortion in how the balls move in either viewpoint?
Hi doctor! My university has given me green light to do this experiment! What kind of motor did you use for the rotating table? It’d really help me to know. Thank you
You are correct. However, if one calculates the Rossby number for this experiment with respect to Earth's rotation and one will notice that the Earth-related Coriolis effect is negligible. But yes, you are 100% right that there is some component of Earth's Coriolis force being exerted on this moving marble.
We’re all brainwashed as children to believe earth is spinning as a globe. At a 24,900 mile circumference at the equator it would be moving at over 1000 miles per hour to go around once every 24 hours. But not once have the forces he so magnificently demonstrated been shown on earth. We experience no motion. That’s why the real documents for long range munitions have written in them that they are designed as if on a flat and non rotating earth. If they designed them for a rotating earth they would miss their targets. This is why airplanes coming in for a landing never have to adjust for a runway moving out from below them (unless they are landing in a heavy cross wind).
I had a great physics teacher in High School, but he didn't have access to video cameras back in the late 70s. I like to thing that Mr. Hall at Queen Anne High School in Seattle would have done something similar if he had this set up available.
Does the earth have an impact on the experiment's observations? Will the observations be the same if this experiment was set up in the southern hemisphere? i.e. Will the cycloid trajectory of the marble still be to the right in this setup if it was done in the southern hemisphere or at one of the poles at the geographic centre?
Earth's rotation does effect all motions including that marble's. However, the effect on the scale of this experiment is practically unmeasurable. One can simply demonstrate that by calculating the Rossby number for this experiment. The outcome of the experiment would be the same in the Southern Hemisphere because, as I just wrote, the Earth's Coriolis effect on the scale of the experiment is negligible.
Yes, the deviation is in the opposite direction. In the Southern Hemisphere, the deviation is to the right. I have few videos describing that both geometrically and mathematically.
Nicely done demonstration with 2 cameras showing showing the frames. Subscriber #894 here so I'm looking forward to more adventures in physics. Montreal gets nippy so I'm also looking forward to other cold weather wear such as toques and maybe you could do some physics featuring poutine, just a thought.
The camera frame rate does not affect the outcome. What would affect the outcome is different rotational speed of the turntable. If the turntable was rotating faster, the deviation would be larger. If the table was rotating slower, the deviation would be smaller. Of course, no deviation if the table is not rotating.
Second time I've watched the video. Just so I get inertial versus non-inertial straight. I would like to see this demo with a straight line across the diameter of the parabolic dish. To judge movement in the inertial frame.
Does this mean that if we get close to the north pole (or south pole) and we drop the marble it will oscilate in cyclades and not in straight lines? Given that one would have the same perspective as the non intertial camera (the camera that rotates with the plate)?
In your scenario, the marble would prescribe a circular motion. That circular motion is known as inertial oscillations. I have a video on inertial oscillations if you want to know the details.
The coriolis effect is a pathway to abilities some consider unnatural
Supernatural some might say
Anneken tried it.
Wonder what it would look like in 3 dimensions with the marble getting smaller and larger?

It does not. The Coriolis effect exists regardless of small deviations from the center line; or any deviation for that matter.

What’s weird to think about is every experiment done on earth is already subject to the Coriolis effect, including this one
You are correct. However, if one calculates the Rossby number for this experiment with respect to Earth's rotation and one will notice that the Earth-related Coriolis effect is negligible. But yes, you are 100% right that there is some component of Earth's Coriolis force being exerted on this moving marble.
We’re all brainwashed as children to believe earth is spinning as a globe. At a 24,900 mile circumference at the equator it would be moving at over 1000 miles per hour to go around once every 24 hours. But not once have the forces he so magnificently demonstrated been shown on earth. We experience no motion. That’s why the real documents for long range munitions have written in them that they are designed as if on a flat and non rotating earth. If they designed them for a rotating earth they would miss their targets. This is why airplanes coming in for a landing never have to adjust for a runway moving out from below them (unless they are landing in a heavy cross wind).

No it does not, but then also I am not sure which effect you are talking about.
What is a constant velocity along a straight line?
Equal intervals are traversed at equal times along a straight line.
Would we expect any difference in behavior in the opposite hemisphere?
Yes, the deviation is in the opposite direction. In the Southern Hemisphere, the deviation is to the right. I have few videos describing that both geometrically and mathematically.
i wonder what impact on the experiment exists because the lowest point in the dish is not the center of rotation
It's not relevant in terms of demonstrating the Coriolis effect.
Both a true and false at the same time, it's a matter of reference/perspective...
Impressive demonstration.
If you hang a pendulum from the rotating camera (to remove the friction component) does the shape of the cycloids change?

Excellent video but the glowing eyes at the end scared me lol 😄
😈
It will take some time for my brain to get this. The camera's frame/Scan rate is not a factor?
The camera frame rate does not affect the outcome. What would affect the outcome is different rotational speed of the turntable. If the turntable was rotating faster, the deviation would be larger. If the table was rotating slower, the deviation would be smaller. Of course, no deviation if the table is not rotating.
Amazing! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Clicked for the coat.
Stayed for the learn.
Sookah.
Second time I've watched the video. Just so I get inertial versus non-inertial straight. I would like to see this demo with a straight line across the diameter of the parabolic dish. To judge movement in the inertial frame.
There is a straight line across the dish at the beginning of the video (no rotation), but also later in the video in the inertial camera view.
Not seeing it. I mean like a nice black magic marker line across the diameter of the dish. 🙂
With that coat and the comment "look at these beautiful cycloids" I felt like I was under a bridge about to purchase some counterfeit cycloids...
Does this mean that if we get close to the north pole (or south pole) and we drop the marble it will oscilate in cyclades and not in straight lines? Given that one would have the same perspective as the non intertial camera (the camera that rotates with the plate)?
In your scenario, the marble would prescribe a circular motion. That circular motion is known as inertial oscillations. I have a video on inertial oscillations if you want to know the details.
