An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?

Angular acceleration


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.


How is the radius of rotation related to the centripetal force and angular velocity?

Assuming that angles are measured in radians, and angular velocity in radians per second (this simplifies formulae): Radius of rotation is unrelated to angular velocity. Linear velocity = angular velocity x radius Centripetal acceleration = velocity squared / radius Centripetal acceleration = (angular velocity) squared x radius Centripetal force = mass x acceleration = mass x (angular velocity) squared x radius


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.


If you increase the radius of circular motion then what is the centripetal acceleration?

That depends what you will remain constant: the angular velocity, or the speed. Here are two formulae that can help you decide: acceleration = speed squared / radius, and acceleration = angular velocity squared times radius. Angular speed should be measured in radians in this case. Angular speed is equal to 2 x pi x (revolutions per second). From the above formulae, it clearly follows that: (a) If you maintain the speed constant (and thereby reduce angular speed, a larger radius means less centripetal acceleration. (b) If you maintain the angular speed constant (and thereby increase the speed), a larger radius means more centripetal acceleration.


If a net torque is applied to an object that object will experience which of the following a constant angular speed angular acceleration or an increasing moment of inertia?

angular acceleration


Define angular impulse?

Angular impulse is defined as the rate-of-change of the angular acceleration.


How do you find out the direction of angular accelaration?

The direction of angular acceleration comes from whether the angular speed of the object is clockwise or counterclockwise and whether it is speeding up or slowing down.The direction of the angular acceleration will be positive if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe direction of the angular acceleration will be negative if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe angular acceleration will not have a direction if the object's angular velocity is constant


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
