General 3-D Motion

Let us say that axes xyz rotate with angular velocity , which is different from the angular velocity of the body.

We can easily prove that

                                   

where dot indicates time derivative.

The expression for the velocity and acceleration of point P, become

where and

If the axes are rigidly attached to the body, and Vrel and arel both are zero. In that case the equation reduces to previous equations.
