想請教板上的各位,在下左思右想有點卡住。 模考二 閱讀第二題第二段 The Coriolis force itself is caused by the fact that the Earth rotates on its axis once per day, and hence all points on the planet have the same rotational velocity; that is, they take one whole day to complete a rotational circle. However, since a complete rotation around the Earth is shorter the further one is away from the equator, different points on the Earth travel at different speeds depending on degree of latitude. For example, a point on the equator travels the whole distance around the sphere (about 40,000 kilometers), whereas a point near the poles will travel a much shorter distance. Therefore, we can say that the linear speed of a point depends on its latitude above or below the equator. Thus the actual linear speed of a point on the surface is faster the nearer that point is to the equator. 題目問: We can infer that rotation velocity is a) the same as speed in kph b) different at different latitudes c) the same as different latitudes d) dependent on latitude 答案是C,我看了好久還是搞不懂到底速度和緯度的關係是怎樣, 已經轉了很久,貼上來看看有沒有人可以給一點靈光一閃,多謝! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.71.94.10

這邊的速度要用地球自轉一天當時間單位

在赤道上一點自轉後回到原點所行的距離最長

緯度越高,所需的距離就越短

路程/時間=速度 因為時間都是一天 所以低緯度的v較大

可是它是說the same as different latitudes(答案)

sorry我看錯答案選項 冏 結果我寫的是speed(跪)

最近都在做gmat 習慣性就把倒數第三個選項當成C

答案就在文章本段第一句裡~
