In the work session today, I had to explain the velocity one point theorem and it did it like this:
- Show the two point theorem, which they presumably understand first.
- Then say that if the second point is actually moving in the rotating reference frame you need to add its relative velocity to the two point velocity.
- To do so, you take a snap shot in time and calculate the two point for a point fixed in the rotating frame that coincides with the moving point and then add the relative velocity.
This is a little different than how I write it in the book. So maybe it can simplify things.
