Rotational Acceleration

Definition

Rotational acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's angular velocity changes over time. It is a measure of how quickly an object can speed up or slow down its rotational motion.

Torque:

Torque is the measure of how effectively a force causes an object to rotate. It depends on both the magnitude and direction of the force.

Moment of Inertia:

Moment of inertia measures an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It depends on both the mass distribution and shape of the object.

Angular Velocity:

Angular velocity describes how fast an object rotates around a fixed axis. It is measured in radians per second (rad/s).
