A rolling pendulum is a physical system consisting of a rigid rod or arm attached to a pivot point and a mass at the end of the rod. When the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position, it will oscillate back and forth due to the force of gravity acting on it.
A rolling pendulum differs from a simple pendulum in that the mass at the end of the rod is in motion, causing the pivot point to move as well. This results in a more complex motion and affects the dynamics of the system.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity of the rolling pendulum. It is a measure of how quickly the pendulum is rotating around its pivot point and is affected by the mass, length, and initial displacement of the pendulum.
Angular acceleration can be calculated using the equation α = (g sinθ)/l, where α is the angular acceleration, g is the acceleration due to gravity, θ is the angle of displacement, and l is the length of the pendulum arm.
The angular acceleration of a rolling pendulum is affected by the mass, length, initial displacement, and the force of gravity. Additionally, the presence of friction and air resistance can also affect the angular acceleration of a rolling pendulum.
