  Rotational Quantities
Angular velocity can be considered to be a vector quantity, with direction along the axis of rotation in the right-hand rule sense.
Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement and angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
The rotation equations represent a complete set of equations for constant angular acceleration rotations, but in certain types of problems, intermediate results must be calculated before proceeding to the final calculation.

  Angular Acceleration of Mass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The angular acceleration a of the wheel 2 is constant.
This equation 1 for angular acceleration a cannot work for the data of figure 1(c), because the torque T in the experiment is not constant when angular acceleration a is constant.
The equation (2) applies to both angular acceleration a and angular deccelation -a of the mass M, and so the kinetic energy of moving mass M seems to be conserved when its speed w changes.

 Direct Science Physics - Acceleration
The average angular acceleration is the angular velocity over the elapsed time.
Using the same concept found above, the instantaneous angular acceleration happens when there is a small time interval, and the average angular acceleration is approximately equal to the instantaneous angular acceleration.
Because tangential acceleration is also equal to r times α, linear acceleration is equal to the tangential acceleration of an object in any rolling motion.

 Angular acceleration of car - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
This way the angular velocity is calculated with respect to the speed (which was what I wanted), but the problem is that it dosen't care about the inertia and wheelbase.
I meant that the car makes quite small-radius corners at higher speeds since the angular acceleration is the same, this makes the car very hard to control while cornering since it will just slip aside.
It is therefor hard to relate the angular rotation of the car with speed, since it is a function of what the tires are doing (which can be very complicated to follow.

Please note that the linear acceleration used here is the acceleration of a point on the circle parallel, or tangent, to its surface (thus, it is sometimes called tangental acceleration).
This is not to be confused with centripetal acceleration, which is the acceleration towards the center of the circle.

 Disk Drive Shock and Vibration Correction with an HDA Mounted Angular Accelerometer
This failure is due to the fact that only angular acceleration of the HDA in the direction of actuator rotation substantially causes positioning errors in systems that utilize a balanced rotary actuator.
The angular accelerometer senses angular acceleration of the HDA caused by spindle imbalance forces, external shock and vibration, and self-induced HDA/shock mount resonance excitation typically caused by seek activity.
The angular accelerometer has its sensitive axis oriented in the direction that induces positioning errors-that is, in the direction of balanced rotary actuator rotation relative to the HDA.

 Angular displacement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angular displacement of a body is the angle in radians through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified sense about a specified axis.
Angular Displacement is measured in radians rather than degrees.
Thus the instantaneous angular velocity can be retained by an infinitely small change in time, which is simply finding the derivative of angular displacement with respect to time.:

To measure the Coriolis acceleration, the frame containing the resonating mass is tethered to the substrate by springs at 90° relative to the resonating motion, as shown in Figure 4.
Thus, extreme acceleration overloads are largely prevented from reaching the electronics—thereby allowing the signal conditioning to preserve the angular rate output during large shocks.
