MathLiveAngular acceleration
Gives the angular acceleration as the time derivative of the angular velocity vector. It is used to describe how quickly an object's rotation speeds up or slows down.
\boldsymbol{\alpha} = \frac{\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{\omega}}{\mathrm{d} t}What the symbols mean
| angular acceleration vector (rad/s^2) | |
| angular velocity vector (rad/s) | |
| time (s) |
