Question

Converting acceleration to angular acceleration

Answer 1

$\alpha \times r = a$
where alpha is the angular acceleration and r is the perpendicular distance

Answer 2

Answer:

In equation form, angular acceleration is expressed as follows: α=ΔωΔt α = Δ ω Δ t , where Δω is the change in angular velocity and Δt is the change in time. The units of angular acceleration are (rad/s)/s, or rad/s2.

The linear speed is proportional to the angular speed and the radius. The average angular acceleration is the change in angular velocity divided by time. The tangential acceleration is proportional to the angular acceleration and the radius.
