[edit] Summary

Description:
The animation shows a rotating parabolic dish. On the left the motion as seen from an inertial point of view, on the right the motion as seen from a co-rotating point of view. The dish is solid and its surface has exactly the same shape as a fluid rotating at that angular velocity has. The dark dot is a puck that can slide over the surface with very little friction. When the puck is co-rotating with the dish, then it will neither climb up the slope nor slump down.

This 256x128 pix animation combines the perspectives of the following two images: Image:Parabolic_dish_motion_circle.gif and Image:Parabolic_dish_stationary.png
