You stand at the center of a carousel spinning at rate w. You throw a ball horizontally with velocity Vo from a heigh h.

a) how long does it take for the ball to strike the floor?
b) At a point where the ball as position r = (x,y,z), what is the centrifugal force on the ball?
c) at a point where the ball has velocity v = (vx,vy,vz) what is the coriolis force on the ball?
