In the previous chapter, we modeled a system with constant angular velocity. In this chapter, we’ll take the next step, modeling a system with angular acceleration and deceleration.
This chapter is available as a Jupyter notebook where you can read the text, run the code, and work on the exercise. You can access the notebooks at https://allendowney.github.io/ModSimPy.
Angular Acceleration
Just as linear acceleration is the derivative of velocity, angular acceleration is the derivative of angular velocity. And just as linear acceleration is caused by force, angular acceleration is caused by the rotational version of force, torque. In general, ...
