I am creating a program in Java which simulates basic Circular Motion (from A2 Physics) I have thus far created a program which can solve the needed variables for circular motion, but still needs to display the final result.
(acceleration, velocity, angular speed, angle turned, radius, force, mass, radius, frequency & time period)
While not all these variables may be necessary, how do i go about created an animation of sorts showing an object undergoing circular motion?
I suppose the two main things I need to know are:
-How can I get these variables to be represented visually as a circle (may not always be a circle, depending on the variables) -- I have somewhat of an understanding of how this works in the real world but how would I tell Java to display a curve based on these parameters.
-How can I show this in the form of an animation? (rather than a static image of the objects final path)
I'm not asking for completed code or anything, just the method of which I would go about this, and any classes or imports which would be useful.
Sorry if this is too vague, first post.
