Angular acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of angular velocity. It describes how quickly an object's angular velocity is changing over time.
Angular acceleration refers to the change in an object's rotational motion, while linear acceleration refers to the change in an object's translational motion. Angular acceleration is measured in radians per second squared, while linear acceleration is measured in meters per second squared.
Angular acceleration is caused by a net torque acting on an object. Torque is the measure of how much a force causes an object to rotate, so any unbalanced torque will result in angular acceleration.
Angular acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in angular velocity by the change in time. This can be represented by the equation 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.
Some examples of angular acceleration in real-world scenarios include spinning a top, throwing a curveball in baseball, or riding a bicycle around a curved track. Any time an object is rotating and its rotational speed is changing, angular acceleration is present.
