A cricket ball bowled by a fast bowler is considered one of the fastest moving objects in sports, reaching speeds over 90-100 mph.
The strength of the Coriolis force is influenced by the speed of the object or fluid and the latitude at which it is moving. Faster moving objects and those at higher latitudes will experience a stronger Coriolis force.
The fastest moving protozoan is probably the Euglena, which can move at speeds of up to 55 micrometers per second using its flagellum.
The fastest moving planet in our solar system is Mercury. It orbits the Sun at an average speed of about 47.87 km/s, covering roughly 107,000 km in an hour.
The world's fastest moving glaciers are found in Greenland and Antarctica. The Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland is one of the fastest moving glaciers, reaching speeds of up to 150 feet per day. In Antarctica, glaciers like the Lambert Glacier have been recorded to move at speeds exceeding 16 feet per day.
When balanced forces act on an object that is not moving, the object remains stationary. The forces cancel each other out, resulting in no change in the object's position or motion.
