Circular Motion

Uniform circular orbit with live velocity and centripetal-force vectors.

ω = 2.000 rad/s T = 3.142 s— velocity (tangent)— centripetal force
1.0×
t = 0.00 s
For uniform circular motion the kinematic quantities are constant — the viewport is the live visualisation of the orbit and the two relevant vectors.
