A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.) (Wikipedia).
7 Rotation of reference frames
Ever wondered how to derive the rotation matrix for rotating reference frames? In this lecture I show you how to calculate new vector coordinates when rotating a reference frame (Cartesian coordinate system). In addition I look at how easy it is to do using the IPython notebook and SymPy

How does the fixed point affect our rotation
👉 Learn how to rotate a figure and different points about a fixed point. Most often that point or rotation will be the original but it is important to understand that it does not always have to be at the origin. When rotating it is also important to understand the direction that you will

Vector Derivatives (the Equation of Coriolis) and the Angular Velocity Vector
In this video we develop the Equation of Coriolis which describes how a vector in a rotating reference frame changes from the perspective of an observer in a non-rotating reference frame. We will see that this is related to the angular velocity vector describing the relative motion of the
