Angular Acceleration - Equations of Motion

Equations of Motion

For two-dimensional rotational motion, Newton's second law can be adapted to describe the relation between torque and angular acceleration:

,

where is the total torque exerted on the body, and is the mass moment of inertia of the body.

Famous quotes containing the word motion:

    “in the mind of man,
    A motion and a spirit, that impels
    All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
    And rolls through all things.”
