Constant Angular Acceleration
Constant angular acceleration, abbreviated as \(\omega\) (Greek symbol omega), of an object is the constant rate at which the angular velocity changes with respect to time. This equation calculates the final angular velocity with respect to a constant angular acceleration over a given amount of time.

Units | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \omega_f }\) (Greek symbol omega) = final angular velocity | \(\large{\frac{deg}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{rad}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ \alpha }\) (Greek symbol alpha) = angular acceleration | \(\large{\frac{deg}{sec^2}}\) | \(\large{\frac{rad}{s^2}}\) |
\(\large{ \omega_i }\) (Greek symbol omega) = initial angular velocity | \(\large{\frac{deg}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{rad}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ t }\) = time | \(\large{sec}\) | \(\large{s}\) |
