... 8 In 1835, Gaspard Gustave Coriolis showed that the total inertial force on an object as seen by an observer in a rotating frame is the sum of two forces, the centrifugal force and a "deflective force" that is now known as the Coriolis force. [8][9][10] The Coriolis force applies only when the object moves relative to this frame, whereas the centrifugal force applies with or without such motion. 11,12 As seen by an observer in the inertial frame, a puck sliding on the surface of a frictionless rotating sphere experiences opposing but unbalanced gravitational and normal forces and executes uniform circular motion in great circles. ...
