Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. It is a vector quantity that describes how quickly an object's rotational speed and/or direction is changing.
Definition: Angular acceleration ($\alpha$) is defined as the change in angular velocity ($\omega$) divided by the change in time ($t$). Mathematically, it is expressed as:
$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$
Units: The standard SI unit for angular acceleration is radians per second squared (rad/s²).
Relationship to Torque: Angular acceleration is directly proportional to torque ($τ$) and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia ($I$) of the object. This relationship is described by the rotational analog of Newton's second law:
$τ = I \alpha$
Constant Angular Acceleration: When the angular acceleration is constant, analogous equations to linear kinematics can be used:
Direction: The direction of the angular acceleration vector is along the axis of rotation. It follows the right-hand rule: if the angular velocity is increasing, the angular acceleration is in the same direction as the angular velocity; if the angular velocity is decreasing, the angular acceleration is in the opposite direction.
