Freely moving bodies are ________

A Deflected to their right in the northern hemisphere
B Deflected to the right in the southern hemisphere
C Deflected upwards at the equator
D Unaffected by the earth's movements

Correct Answer: Deflected to their right in the northern hemisphere

An apparent force that arises because of the earth's spin around its axis. Freely-moving objects are deflected to the right of their direction of motion in the northern hemisphere and to the left of their direction of motion in the southern hemisphere.
