Detail Page

published by the PhET

This is an interactive simulation on the topic of circular motion that features a ladybug rotating on a turning platform. Users can change the location of the ladybug, add a bug of larger mass, display vectors, view graphs of acceleration and velocity, and set the degree of angular velocity.
