Remarks on Viewing Situation in a Rotating Frame
Kobayashi, Yukio
European Journal of Physics, v29 n3 p599-606 May 2008
Representations of centrifugal forces are derived in a variety of rotating frames. Although the rotating angle of a point mass relative to an inertial frame is often confused with the rotating angle of a rotating frame relative to the inertial frame, they should be differentiated. (Contains 4 figures and 1 table.)
