Angular acceleration
Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANG : Angular acceleration
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s²), and usually denotes by the Greek letter alpha ([\,]). For constant values of angular acceleration, a rotating body conforms to the rotational equations of motion.
Additionally: [\,] = T / I. Where T is torque and I is moment of inertia.
