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:

    “If we shall stand still
    In fear our motion will be mocked or carped at,
    We should take root here where we sit, or sit
    State-statues only.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
