Circular motion plays an important role in nature and technology. So, the planets move on (approximately) circular orbits around the sun. Other examples are the rotating armature of an electric motor or the crankshaft of a gasoline engine.
This Java applet simulates such a circular motion and demonstrates how position, velocity, acceleration and acting force vary in time. The "Reset" button brings the rotating body in its initial position. You can start or stop and continue the simulation with the other button. If you choose the option "Slow motion", the movement will be ten times slower. You can adjust radius, period and mass by using the corresponding input fields. The radio buttons give the possibility to select one of four physical sizes
