If a missile is launched from the equator toward an object in the Northern Hemisphere, should it be aimed to the left, to the right, or directly at its target? Why?

Answer :

Manethogo

Answer:

Must be aimed to the left

Explanation:

Coriolis effect deflects wind or any moving item which has no contact with earth and has substantial distance to cover and moving at a substantial altitude. Coriolis effect deflectd the object to the right in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, missile must be aimed to the left, to nullify the coriollis effect.
