摘要
One of two astronauts, while conducting an experiment inside a spinning space vehicle in a state of free fall neglecting all gravitational effects, throws a tiny tool at the other with a velocity perpendicular to its axis of rotation. Considering the motion of the tool with respect to the rotating frame rigidly fixed to the vehicle, we can obtain the position of the tool at a subsequent time by use of rotational kinematics and geometry without involving the concepts of coriolis and centripetal forces.
