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:

    “The moments of the past do not remain still; they retain in our memory the motion which drew them towards the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
