This interactive simulation enables students to visualise uniform circular motion and derive the centripetal acceleration formula a = v²/r. By adjusting velocity, radius, and mass parameters, learners observe how acceleration relates to speed and circular path geometry in real time.
Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between velocity, radius, and centripetal acceleration in circular motion | Derive and verify the a = v²/r formula through interactive exploration | Analyse vector components of velocity and acceleration in uniform circular motion
