Rotating frames from "summary" of Introduction to Classical Mechanics by David Morin

Rotating frames offer more ways to solve problems with complex states since one coordinate axis can rotate around another as a form of movement.

Sometimes, a rotating frame of reference can be identified and studied independently from its surroundings, this frame can be manipulated by adding or removing angular momentum to the system.

In addition, rotating frames are powerful tools to bring symmetric objects into an asymmetric world allowing us to study their behaviour through simulation modelling.

By choosing the correct rotating frame of reference, predictions of particle's trajectories and behavior can be made easier than those encountered in a non-rotating frame.

When it comes to rotational motion, particles appear to follow different rules when measured in a fixed frame versus when they are measured in a rotating frame.

By studying relative rotation we start to understand why certain physical phenomena happen the way they do; such as friction or superconductivity.

Using a spinning coordinate frame allows us to compare the angular velocities of multiple objects on screen at any give time. It is essential for problem solving purposes due to the added complexity of the rotational decision tree.

In order to properly measure forces acting between stationary bodies, a rotating frame of reference must be taken into account.

Rotating frames increase our knowledge of how energy changes over time and provide clues on what type of external forces could be influencing a system providing great insights about the properties of a given environment.

Rotation can also produce interesting hindrance effects such as decreased drag and lift farrons which depend upon the rate of spin.
