Angular acceleration is the time derivative of angular velocity, . For rotation about a fixed axis, its signed scalar component obeys when the axial moment of inertia is constant and is the total applied torque about that axis.

Angular acceleration refers to the rate at which the angular velocity of an object changes with time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction. Angular acceleration is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha (α).
