Velocity & Acceleration in Non-Inertial Reference Frames (Coriolis & Centrifugal Acceleration)

In this video we derive a mathematical description of velocity and acceleration in non-inertial reference frame. We examine the effect of fictitious forces that are witnessed by observers on rotating reference frames.
