The Centripetal Drift (Circular Motion Dynamics)

You can memorize the derivation for angular velocity and centripetal force all day, but true physics is understanding the breaking point. When a vehicle moves in a circle, it demands an invisible rope (Centripetal Force) pulling it towards the center to stop it from flying away in a straight line. On a flat road, that "rope" is just the friction of the tyres.

⚠️ Mission Objective

Control the Velocity (\(v\)) and Track Radius (\(r\)) of the robotic test rover (1000 kg). The system calculates the required Centripetal Force \((F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r})\). If \(F_c\) exceeds the Maximum Grip (Static Friction \(= \mu mg\)), the physics engine will break the loop, and the rover will drift tangentially into the void.

Max Grip (Friction): 7840 N
Required \(F_c\): 0 N
STATUS: SAFE

Observation Hack: Notice the glowing vectors. The Blue Arrow is the vehicle's tangential heading. The Red Arrow is the Centripetal Force pulling inwards. As you increase speed, the red arrow stretches until the tyres lose grip.
