In this demonstration, we roll a ball bearing down ramp affixed to our rotary table and is filmed by a camera that is also attached to the table. Without rotation, the ball travels in a straight line. However, when we rotate the table in the counterclockwise (right-handed) direction, the ball deflects off to its right. When we increase the rate of rotation, the ball deflects off to its right to a greater degree.
