Velocity of transfer between reference frames

Suppose two reference frames, one of which is fixed (\(S\)) and the other one is moving (\(S'\)). The movement of a body stationary in moving frame \(S'\) due to the movement of the frame itself is called transfer movement. The velocity related to such movement is called transfer velocity. For any material point \(X\), its transfer velocity relative to fixed frame \(S\) is the sum of the velocity of frame \(S'\) relative to frame \(S\) and the cross product of the angular velocity of moving frame’s rotation and the position vector of \(X\) in moving frame \(S'\).
