Angular Acceleration
Angular Acceleration
The rate at which angular velocity changes over time.
What does 'α' stand for?
What does 'α' stand for?
The symbol representing angular acceleration in rotational motion.
Relationship between α & ω
Relationship between α & ω
Angular acceleration is directly proportional to angular velocity. This means that a larger angular acceleration leads to a faster change in angular velocity.

Study Notes
Physics rotational motion is a topic that describes the relationships between the angle of rotation, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time. In this article, we will be focusing on the subtopics of angular acceleration, torque, angular displacement, angular velocity, and moment of inertia.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. It is denoted as α and is given by the equation:
α = ω/τ
Angular velocity, on
