I was just trying to write out the derivation for an object's trajectory from an inertial coordinate system if the object is rotating in another coordinate system (e.g. finding Coriolis, centrifugal acceleration). I seem to have gotten something close to what I was looking for, but after checking the formula, it shows a coefficient of 2 on the Coriolis term online, yet that is not what I derived. I have let the Euler acceleration = 0 by letting ## \frac {d\vec{\omega}}{dt} = 0##, but by doing this am I losing a term? Have I done anything wrong with my derivation in general?
