Of course. How do you represent a position in 2d space? as a couple of numbers, right? Just make them variables, functions in respect to time. The following functions describe circular motion (with radius a):

$x(t)=a sin(t)$$x(t)=a \sin(t)$

$y(t)=a cos(t)$$y(t)=a \cos(t)$

Here, go to this site: http://fooplot.com , change the style to parametric (they use $s$ instead of $t$) and use the above functions. Try different functions :)

I'm not sure if I answered your question.. What level are you?
