I'm somewhat lost and would like your help
If I understood correctly, the Coriolis Force happens when an object moves with a different rotation speed than the ground below it. For example, when an object moves North or South from the Equator, it will slide eastward because the rotation speed at the Equator is greater and slows down as you move toward the Poles. So the object will rotate faster East than the ground below it the more North or South it goes from the Equator.
I was wondering what kind of coordinate system should be used when dealing with an object on a planet like Earth, because the traditional 3D ccoordinates with origin at the Center of Earth make calculations a lot more difficult
Is it possible to have a coordinate System in such a way that calculating the Coriolis Force of an object is quick and straightforward instead of needing trigonometric functions to compute it with a Coordinate System at the Center of Earth ?
In other words, is there a Coordinate System that is more convenient to use for an object moving on the Surface of a Planet than this one
It doesn't seem to me that a Cylindrical or Spherical coordinate is better, but maybe you see it differently.
There isn't a lot of informations about the Coriolis Force on the Internet, especially applied Examples that show how to proceed for an object on the surface of a Planet like Earth, that's why I'm asking
Thank you so much for your help !
