Angular Speed and Angular Acceleration in Physics

This clip is just a few minutes of a multi-hour course.  

Master this subject with our full length step-by-step lessons!

Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, you'll learn about the concept of Angular Speed and Angular Acceleration in physics.  Essentially, these quantities are directly related to linear speed and linear acceleration.  The only difference is that the angular forms occur for rotating or turning objects while linear speed related to motion in a straight line.

Here we introduce these concepts and show how these concepts are very easy to understand when the student knows where they come from.
