Rotation


In this video it is shown how the x and the y components of the position vector r of the particle vary with time.
Circular motion with constant speed is called uniform circular motion.
For constant angular velocity ω we have for the phase φ of the position vector r the relation

φ(t) = ωt + φ0

In the following we will choose φ0=0 for the phase at the instant t=0.
