About Angular Acceleration

Angular acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time. It describes how quickly the angular velocity of an object changes and is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s²).

The SI unit of angular acceleration is radians per second squared (rad/s²). Other common units include degrees per second squared (deg/s²) and revolutions per second squared (rev/s²).
