Uniform or Constant Angular Acceleration

• The equations for constant angular acceleration acceleration have the same structure as the equations for constant linear accelaeration.
  
  
• Only the symbols are different. Greek letters are used to indicate that one is talking about rotational motion as opposed to linear motion.

Linear Equation	Angular Equations
a = constant	α = constant

If you know the linear equations you can determine the rotational equations using the mapping

It is important to use greek symbols for rotational quantities because there are many problems that have both linear and rotational motion at same time.
