Use , , and . By the rotating-frame derivative formula, . Apply the product rule for the cross product and the same rotating-frame derivative formula again:
We have and , since . Therefore
Rearranging this identity into an equation of motion in a rotating frame produces the apparent Coriolis acceleration, Euler acceleration and centrifugal acceleration, with signs opposite to their corresponding terms on the right of this inertial acceleration identity. No translational term is needed because the two origins coincide.
