So knowing knowing radius and mass of the object, what is the equation to find angular acceleration?
The equation for angular acceleration is α = (ωf - ωi) / t, where α is the angular acceleration, ωf is the final angular velocity, ωi is the initial angular velocity, and t is the time interval.
The units of angular acceleration are radians per second squared (rad/s2).
Angular acceleration and linear acceleration are related through the equation α = a / r, where α is the angular acceleration, a is the linear acceleration, and r is the radius of the circular motion.
No, the equation for angular acceleration is specifically for objects in circular motion. For objects in linear motion, the equation for linear acceleration (a = (vf - vi) / t) should be used.
The equation for angular acceleration can be applied in situations such as calculating the acceleration of a spinning top or a spinning ride at an amusement park. It is also used in fields such as engineering and physics to analyze the motion of rotating objects.
