The cup'
s
rotation
relative to the radial
basis
has
angular speed
ϕ
, so its absolute orientation has
speed
α
=
Ω
+
ϕ
. With
R
(
θ
)
the
planar rotation
matrix
,
(
y
x
)
=
R
(
sin
Ω
t
cos
Ω
t
)
+
R
(
α
t
)
(
y
1
x
1
)
.
(1)
At
ϕ
=
−
Ω
,
α
=
0
: the cup translates on
a
circle
while its axes remain parallel to fixed inertial axes. Thus
x
=
R
cos
Ω
t
+
x
1
,
y
=
R
sin
Ω
t
+
y
1
. Cancellation of orientation
rotation
does not remove
acceleration
of the cup'
s
center.
