(A)Mechanics - A+10: Frames of Reference

A rotating platform has a spring-loaded gun mounted in the middle with a paper target directly opposite. If the gun is fired while the platform is stationary it hits the paper in the middle. If the gun is fired when the platform is rapidly rotating, however, the shot will land considerably to the side on the paper.
