Natural Science Forum / Physics / General Physics / January 2008Daily Telegraph / Bayer Science Writer
Hi, I'm planning to enter the Daily Telegraph / Bayer Science Writer competition (see www.science-writer.co.uk) Ages 14-19, and, seeing as Physics is my strongest science, I was wondering if you could suggest a topic. It needs to be complicated enough to impress them (and my school, who are running a competition alongside that one), but not so complicated that I can't understand it. I'm pretty good at absorbing almost anything, but something which can be expressed in physical (i.e. real life) terms is a major bonus. The idea is that it is widestream enough for the Daily Telegraph. Any ideas? | Hi, | I'm planning to enter the Daily Telegraph / Bayer Science Writer [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | (i.e. real life) terms is a major bonus.

Explain the Coriolis effect as it applies to a signal from the Cassini probe (in orbit around Saturn) reaching the Earth. It takes over an hour for light to cross the distance in which time the Earth will move in its orbit over 100,000 km.
