Physics Experiment
Uniform Circular Motion
Explore how speed, radius, and mass determine centripetal acceleration, force, and period.
Live circular motion
The marker moves with constant speed while the velocity direction keeps changing. The inward arrow shows the centripetal acceleration needed to keep the object on the circle.
