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


When angular velocity decreases the direction of angular acceleration is opposite to angular velocity .why?

Take the velocity to be in positive direction. Positive acceleration increases velocity and they are in the same direction. Negative acceleration reduce velocity and they are in opposite direction. It does not matter if the motion in linear or anfular.


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.


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.


What are the two kinds of acceleration?

The three basic types of acceleration is absolute (acceleration in a direction), angular (acceleration due to rotation) , and Coriolis (acceleration due to a point changing its distance from the center of rotation while spinning Eg. swirling toilet water.) Hope this helps, Speeding Up, Slowing Down, and Changing Direction


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.


What is Difference between angular velocity and angular speed?

Angular velocity is a vector with a direction and angular speed is a scalar with no direction.


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
