Classical Velocity Transformations
Abstract
The Galilean transformation, relating the velocities of a particle observed in two different frames of reference, must be modified if one frame is rotating relative to the other. Introductory courses typically do not mention this fact, inviting subsequent confusion about the kinematics and dynamics of combined translational-rotational motion.
