Constant Torque & Acceleration: Is It Possible?

[sportsnh]

Will a constant torque accelerate an object and why or why not?

I put the velocity will stay the same and but i can't come up with a reason.

How does Newton's 2nd law apply to rotational motion?

 

[sportsnh]

so my answer is wrong it should be it does accelerate becasue a constantly applied force will accelerate an object

 

[Doc Al]

First off, a net torque produces an angular acceleration, not necessarily a translational acceleration. A net force produces a translational acceleration.
