Circular Motion Calculator
Find centripetal acceleration, angular speed and orbital period for an object moving steadily around a circular path at constant speed.
a = v² ÷ r
An object circling at steady speed still accelerates toward the centre, with the size set by speed squared over radius.
Centripetal acceleration
… m/s²
