Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. It is a measure of how quickly an object's rotational speed is changing.
Angular acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in angular velocity by the change in time. The unit of measurement for angular acceleration is radians per second squared (rad/s^2).
The factors that affect angular acceleration include the force applied to the rotating object, the distance from the axis of rotation where the force is applied, and the moment of inertia of the object.
Angular acceleration and linear acceleration are related through the equation a = rα, where a is linear acceleration, r is the distance from the axis of rotation, and α is angular acceleration. This means that linear acceleration is directly proportional to the distance from the axis of rotation and the angular acceleration of the rotating object.
Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement over time, while angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In simpler terms, angular velocity measures how fast an object is rotating, while angular acceleration measures how quickly that rotation is changing.
