How to calculate the velocity of a point on a rigid body that is both translating and rotating?

I'm trying to figure out a problem involving the motion of a rigid body in 2D. The body has: A translational velocity $\mathbf{v} = (v_x, v_y) $ at its center. An angular velocity $\omega$ around its ...

Trajectory of particle thrown from the center of rotating frame of reference

So we have a rotating platform with two frames o reference: the one which is static, $O:\{x,y,z\}$, and the one wich is rotating along the platform, $O':\{x',y',z'\}\ (z\equiv z')$. The platform is ...

Velocity of a car relative to the center of the Earth

If we approximate the Earth's circumference to be $40,075\;km$ we could say that the the amount of time it takes for a full rotation is about $24\; hours$. We could then approximate the rotation of ...
