In this video it is shown how
the x
and the y
components of the position vector of the particle vary with time.
We have chosen here R=1
for the radius of the circle.
Notice that the x
and the y
components of the position vector of the particle
just perform harmonic oscillations.
The speed of the particle is such that it completes
1 revolution
in a time interval of 3.6 seconds.
Hence, the phase
of its position vector increases by
360o
each 3.6 seconds.
This corresponds to an angular velocity
given by
ω = 100o/s
= 1.75 rad/s
