Angular Acceleration

Definition

Angular acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's angular velocity changes over time. It measures how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down its rotation.

Related terms

Translational Kinematics: This term refers to the study of motion in a straight line, such as linear displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

Linear Velocity: Linear velocity is the rate at which an object moves in a straight line. It measures how quickly an object changes its position with respect to time.

Torque:

Torque is a measure of how effectively a force can cause an object to rotate. It depends on both the magnitude of the force and its distance from the axis of rotation.
