Are you interested in deflection by the Coriolis force or by cross wind? Make up your mind.Change in pressure said:Air exist in bullet situation..

why do you think that air affect helicopter but bullet not?jbriggs444 said:And how many bullets do you see hovering in place for 100 years? What point are you trying to make?

A drone or a hovering helicopter is using its rotors to hold itself in the same position relative to the air around it. Most obviously, the force of the air on the rotors is canceling the gravitational force so that the drone hovers instead of falling to the ground, but the force of the air on the rotors is also generating whatever sideways forces are needed to keep the drone over the same spot on the surface of the earth. (If you've ever sat next to a helicopter pilot holding a hover, you'll see that they're making constant small side-to-side adjustments with the control stick. A drone's onboard computer is doing the same thing).Change in pressure said:We know from experinecies that this will not happend,so can you explain why you fall down on diffrent place and dron will stay above london 1000years?
Isnt that in contradiction?

A bullet is designed to be much less affected by aerodynamic forces, so we can usually analyze the trajectory of a bullet as if we're on an airless planet.
You are asking what if the drone electronics are programmed to hold a constant altitude without doing any lateral positioning relative to the ground? It will remain at rest relative to the air around it. If the air around it is moving sideways relative to the ground (which we usually call "wind") the drone will be move sideways along with the air. If there's no wind then the air is not moving relative to the ground, so when the drone is at rest relative to the air it's also at rest relative to the ground so it will come down at the same spot as it took off. Basically, it's like a hot-air balloon being blown around by the wind.Change in pressure said:imagine dron without electorincs which hold him in same place,so he only hover and wind is zero...will "new york" than come under dron or not??
The helicopter is stationary with respect to the Earth's surface by your own definition of the scenario. The bullet, on the other hand, is moving.Change in pressure said:Why than ground do not moving under hover helicopter,even if he hover 100years?
[separate post]
Isnt strange that ground under helicopter do not rotate but ground under bullet is rotate?
Then why do you bring aerodynamics into it?Change in pressure said:I am interested only in coriolis...
Do you understand why a hot air balloon drifts with the surrounding airmass, while a bullet is only slightly affected by wind?Change in pressure said:Isnt that in contradiction?

Change in pressure said:Force= pressure x area ...so balloon have bigger area so wind affect balloon more...
can you explain me why if you jump high enough(like you said) Earth under you will move but small cheap dron which do not have electronics that hold him in same place and wind is zero,stay in same place=earth is not moving under him ?
And do you understand why a passively hovering helicopter also drifts with the surrounding airmass?Change in pressure said:Force= pressure x area ...so balloon have bigger area so wind affect balloon more...
The Earth moves in either case. However, in the one case (drone, helicopter, weather balloon), the device is moving with the air above and remains as fixed in place relative to the Earth as is the air above. And in the other case (bullet), the device is on a ballistic trajectory and is not fixed to drift with the air.Change in pressure said:Force= pressure x area ...so balloon have bigger area so wind affect balloon more...

Yes, and yes.Change in pressure said:so if I jump high enough in london I can fall down in new york?
or if I throw ball down from very high house(50km) in london,,ball will touch ground at China?
Does it matter if it's London and New York? The point is that the location will be different.Change in pressure said:so if I jump high enough in london I can fall down in new york?
Not high enough to get from London to China.Change in pressure said:or if I throw ball down from very high house(50km) in london,,ball will touch ground at China?
Your initial velocity would need to include the velocity you have due to the rotating earth. Also, any aerodynamic effects would need to be accounted for. In the case of a ballistic missile, the aerodynamic effects may be small. In the case of an artillary shell or a bullet which does not leave the atmosphere, the aerodynamics effects are probably significant.Change in pressure said:so if I jump high enough in london I can fall down in new york?

jbriggs444 said:A ball thrown straight down from only 50 km will not land far from the base of the tower. The tower would need to be much higher to have the landing point be in China. Probably less than 22,000 miles, but still plenty high.
Given the time of fall, yes. Note that the proposed calculation does not depend at all on the radius of the earth. The 6371 cancels out.Change in pressure said:hause high 50km at equator
C(equator)=2r x 3.14 = 2 x 6371km x 3.14 =40 009km / 24h = 1667km/h
C(ball)= 2r x 3.14 = 2 x (6371km+50km) x3.14 =40323km /24h = 1680km/h
1680-1667=13km/h
top of hause travel 13km/h faster then bottom...
so this 13km/h is additional velocity which ball have in east direction
with this information we can calcualte how far east will ball hit the ground....
Approximately. For a more precise calculation in the inertial frame you would find the intersection of the elliptical orbit with the curved surface.Change in pressure said:so this 13km/h is additional velocity which ball have in east direction
