In the general case of motion relative to a rotating reference frame, the absolute velocity vA is given by vA = vB + ω × r + vrel. What does the term ω × r represent?
Explanation
The absolute velocity equation for a rotating frame (Eq. 5/12) is composed of three parts: the absolute velocity of the frame's origin (vB), the velocity of a point on the frame due to rotation (ω × r), and the velocity of the particle relative to the frame (vrel).
