Modeling Coriolis Effect on long-range projectiles´ motion

Pseudo-forces originated by Earth´s rotation affect the parabolic motion of projectiles moving at the planet´s surface. These forces deviate the howitzers of their launching plane, preventing their arrival to the targeted location. This effect is called the Coriolis Effect and depends on different v...
