Homework Statement
this is a question just to help with my understanding: ...
when Torque (kg m^2/s^2) and the Moment of Inertia (kg m^2) are known and used to find angular acceleration, ... T(net)/I, are the units for the resulting acceleration rad/s^2
Thanks :-)
Homework Equations
##\tau = I \alpha##
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B] Example:
t = 12 kg m^2/s^2
I = 3.00 kg m^2
angular acceleration = torque/I = 12 kg m^2/s^2 / 3.00 kg m^2 = 4 units(?) / s^2
