An experimental vehicle A travels with constant speed v relative to the earth along a north–south track. Determine the Coriolis acceleration aCor as a function of the latitude θ. Assume an earth fixed rotating frame Bxyz and a spherical earth. If the vehicle speed is v = 500 km/h, determine the magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration at (a) the equator and (b) the north pole.
