Question: x y - plane is rotating with constant angular velocity around the origin as shown. Material point with mass m is moving on the plane

xy-plane is rotating with constant angular velocity around the origin as shown. Material point with mass m is moving on the plane with no friction. An attracting force towards the origin proportional to the distance from origin, -k, acts on m .=+yj is the relative position vector of m. There are no other active forces.
Denote the relative time-derivative (w.r.t. the rotating plane) with over-dot.
Express drift, relative and Coriolis acceleration components.
Write the equations of motion in relative coerdinates x,y.
Obtain a single equation for z=x+iy where i=-12.
Take m=k==1. Initial conditions:
x(0)=y(0)=1,x(0)=1,y(0)=0
Solve the z-equation and find the trajectory x(t),y(t).
