Explore vector derivatives in rotating and translating frames through worked examples in this comprehensive lecture on the Transport Theorem. Delve into vector manipulation review, the matrix representation of cross-products, and the tilde matrix. Learn the Transport Theorem for vector derivatives in rotating frames and apply it to real-world scenarios, including a cannon viewed from a rotating frame and oscillatory motion. Work through a detailed turntable example and examine the Transport Theorem's application to Earth's rotation. Conclude with an extension of the theorem to frames that are both rotating and translating, gaining valuable insights into space vehicle dynamics and coordinate frame transformations.
