Influence of air resistance on a falling body defecting eastward

  

  • Online:2009-12-20 Published:2009-12-20

Abstract: By using Matlab software programming,the value of eastward drift of a falling body is calculated in the condition of air resistance.In comparison with the condition of no air resistance,our result shows that air resistance decreases the value of eastward drift of a falling body,which clears up the incorrect viewpoint that air resistance increases the value of eastward drift of a falling body.

Key words: air resistance, falling body, eastward drift, Matlab software
