I'm having a little trouble understanding why the Coriolis force is proportional to the velocity vector of the object in the rotating frame. It seems to me if you had a spinning cd for example and let a ball go on it, if the ball was moving slower from the inside to the outside it would divert and go in circles way more than if the ball was going really fast from the centre to the outside in which case it would look to have diverted from its path almost not at all. Am I misunderstanding this?
