Reflection of Circular waves.
This Java applet shows how a circular wave reflects from a mirror. Very basic demonstration!
Circular Motion
Revision site for UK A Level on circular motion, covers radians, angular speed and acceleration amongst others.
Orbit, Circular
Gravity supplies the necessary centripetal force to hold a satellite in orbit about the earth. The circular orbit is a special case since orbits are generally ellipses, or hyperbolas.
Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion
An oscillating mass on a spring is shown with matching circular motion to one side of it. The relationship is clearly visible. I have tried many times to set this up in the lab - this is a really ...
Circular motion
Definitions and equations relating to circular motion.
Circular Motion
For circular motion at a constant speed v, the centripetal acceleration of the motion can be derived.
Circular Motion and Centripetal Force
This simulation shows how two masses connected together by a string move. The simulation is designed to demonstrate circular motion and centripetal force.
Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion
An animation to illustrate the relationship between simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion
Circular Motion
Derives the centripetal acceleration equation.
Circular, Satellite and Rotational Motion
Discussion of roller coaster rides and the forces experienced.
