Is angular momentum always parallel to angular acceleration?

momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel


What is the name of the mechanism that produces the greatest amount of torque?

An angular force would produce a large torque like angular momentum of a spinning wheel.


How to convert angular torque in to linear torquewith Example..?

Firstly could you be so kind to explain to me what "linear torque" is. I'm pretty confident that torque = force x radius at which that force is applied, thus the term linear torque cannot exist. Also torque is simply the angular version of force, I'm going to take a stab at this and assume that what you really want to know is how to convert torque to force. Since the equation defining torque is T=FR, where T is torque, F is force and R is the radius at which that force is applied, then the force (by simple algebraic rearranging) is simply T/R.


What does the parallel axis theorem states?

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 is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha (α).[1]


How do you calculate shaft power?

Shaft power P = (2(pi) * (angular Speed in rpm) * (Torque at shaft)/ 60 Torque of a solid shaft is given by (pi/16)* (Shear stress of material of shaft) * (Dia of shâft3).

If a body is rotating is it necessarily being acted upon by an external torque?

No. Torque is required only for producing angular acceleration. A body rotates with constant angular velocity if no external torque acts on it.


Is Angular accelration is produced by torque?

no angular acceleration is not producd by torque is a factor of torque T= anguar aceleration X momentum I say yes, because torque is another word for a couple that is equivalent to two equal parallel forces in opposite directions but separated by a distance. Torque acting on an inertia produces angular acceleration exactly as a force acting on a mass produces linear acceleration. Actually the answer above does not make much sense to me. Angular momentum is the angular rotation speed times the inertia. Finally inertia is the sum of all the bits of mass each multiplied by the square of distance from the inertial centre.


Can a torque be balanced by a single force?

The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.


Is angular acceleration proportional or inversely proportional to torque?

Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).Proportional.For linear movement, Newton's Second Law states that force = mass x acceleration.The equivalent for rotational movement is: torque = (moment of inertia) x (angular acceleration).


What is the equation of torqe?

The net torque is equal to moment of inertia times angular acceleration. (Στ=Ia)


Can uniform angular velocity has acceleration?

No, uniform angular velocity means no angular acceleration.


Angular acceleration is it scalar or vector?

Angular acceleration is a vector.


What is angular acceleration?

Angular acceleration is the trate of change of angular velocity, often represented by the letter alpha.


Can a body be in equilibrium if it is revolving clockwise under the action of single torque?

No. If a single torque is applied on the object, it would have an angular acceleration, and will increase it's rotation speed.


Is angular speed the same as angular acceleration?

No. Acceleration and speed are related in the same way irrespective of being linear or angular. Acceleration is rate of change of speed.


Is there any difference between angular acceleration and radial acceleration?

Yes. A ngular acceleration is to do with something turning. Radial acceleration is linear acceleration perpendicular to the angular acceleration.
