The angular acceleration has units

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. rad/sec
  • B. sec/rad
  • C. sec2
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The units of angular acceleration are radians per second (rad/s). Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity, and its unit is radians per second squared (rad/s2).

About Angular and Linear Quantities

Rotational motion relates angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration to linear displacement, tangential velocity and tangential acceleration through the radius. Questions use radians, v equals r omega and tangential acceleration, while distinguishing tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration and angular quantities from their linear counterparts.
