Rotating reference frames are not inertial frames, as to keep something rotating (and thus change the direction of the linear velocity) requires the application of a net force. Instead, as we’ll see, in a rotating frame of reference we’ll get all sorts of fictitious forces - forces that have no real physical source, like gravity or electros
