The relative acceleration of a vehicle moving with respect to a rotating Earth can be divided into three parts.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during a job interview.My question is taken from Vertical & Heading References topic in division Air Data Systems, Altitude and Heading Reference of Avionics |
Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) True Best explanation: When a vehicle moves at a velocity relative to the rotating Earth, the inertial ACCELERATION can be divided into three parts: Acceleration relative to the SURFACE of Earth, Coriolis acceleration caused by ROTATION of Earth, and a correction that depends on the coordinate frame in which the GYRO is constrained. |
