🌀 Circular Motion

Explore velocity and centripetal force in uniform circular motion

Difficulty: ● Medium

📐 Physics Formulas
v = ωr
Tangential Velocity
a = v² / r
Centripetal Acceleration
F = mv² / r
Centripetal Force
📚 Key Concepts
  • Velocity is always tangent to the circle
  • Centripetal force points toward the center
  • Speed can be constant while velocity changes
  • Smaller radius → larger centripetal acceleration
  • Force increases with speed squared
🔬 Try This
  • Increase speed and observe force growth
  • Reduce radius and compare acceleration
  • Toggle force and velocity vectors
  • Pause and inspect vector directions
