Angular Acceleration

Quick fact

Angular acceleration is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s²), and it tells us whether an object is speeding up or slowing down in rotation.

Why this is interesting

Have you ever wondered why a spinning top slows down over time? It’s not just about friction—it has to do with how its angular speed changes, and that change is called angular acceleration.
