The Scenario: You are at a Baseball game in Pontianak, Indonesia. The pitcher throws a 98 mph fastball, and it strikes the batter. The pitch did not have any spin on the ball and there was no wind. The umpire decides to eject the pitcher from the game. The pitcher, upset by the Umpire’s decision, claims, "It’s not my fault; it was the Coriolis Effect that caused my ball to curve into the batter." Calculate the influence the Coriolis Effect had on the pitch to determine if the pitcher has a legitimate claim. Use the information below to help you. The ball was traveling straight south from a distance of 60 feet 6 inches (18.44 meters) The pitch was traveling (V) = 98 mph (43.81 m/s) The time of flight for the ball (t) = 0.42 seconds This is occurring in Pontianak, Indonesia = (Latitude ~0, Longitude ~109E) The angular of velocity of Earth is (Ω) = 7.2921159 X 10^-5/seconds φ is latitude. North is positive, south is negative. The formula for the amount of deflection caused by the Coriolis Effect is = 2Ωsin(φ)Vt2/2.a. 0.1 inches to the left b. There was no deflection, therefore, the umpire was correct in throwing out the pitcher. c. 3 inches to the left d. 0.002 inches to the right
