Examples include a merry-go-round, the rotating
earth, a spinning skater, a top, and a turning wheel.

We know that the distance between two disks is L. If the second disk rotates
an angle before the bullet arrives, the time taken by this rotation is
t = / 2n , where n is the angular frequency of the shaft.
Therefore we come up with v = L / t = 2n L / .
