Variation of angular velocity and duration
Description
In a scenario of two-body motion, the first one alters the angular velocity difference of the first body ($\Delta\omega_1$) during the travel time of first object ($\Delta t_1$) with the angular acceleration of the first body ($\alpha_1$).
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
Subsequently, the second body advances, altering the angular velocity difference of the second body ($\Delta\omega_2$) during the travel time of second object ($\Delta t_2$) with the angular acceleration of the second body ($\alpha_2$).
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
Graphically represented, we obtain a velocity-time diagram as shown below:
The key here is that the values the angular velocity difference of the first body ($\Delta\omega_1$) and the angular velocity difference of the second body ($\Delta\omega_2$), and the values the travel time of first object ($\Delta t_1$) and the travel time of second object ($\Delta t_2$), are such that both bodies coincide in angle and time.

The definition of average angular acceleration is based on the angle covered
| $ \Delta\omega = \omega_2 - \omega_1 $ |
and the elapsed time
| $ \Delta t \equiv t - t_0 $ |
The relationship between the two is defined as the average angular acceleration
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
within that time interval.

Given that the mean Acceleration ($\bar{a}$) equals the speed Diference ($\Delta v$) and the time elapsed ($\Delta t$) according to
| $ \bar{a} \equiv\displaystyle\frac{ \Delta v }{ \Delta t }$ |
and the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$) equals the difference in Angular Speeds ($\Delta\omega$) and the time elapsed ($\Delta t$) as per
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
it follows that
$\bar{a}=\displaystyle\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=r\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\omega}{\Delta t}=\bar{\alpha}$
Assuming that the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$) is equal to the constant Angular Acceleration ($\alpha_0$)
| $ \bar{\alpha} = \alpha_0 $ |
and assuming that the mean Acceleration ($\bar{a}$) equals the constant Acceleration ($a_0$)
| $ a_0 = \bar{a} $ |
then the following equation is obtained:
| $ a = r \alpha $ |
(ID 3236)
If we assume that the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$) is constant, equivalent to the constant Angular Acceleration ($\alpha_0$), then the following equation applies:
| $ \bar{\alpha} = \alpha_0 $ |
Therefore, considering the difference in Angular Speeds ($\Delta\omega$) along with the angular Speed ($\omega$) and the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$):
| $ \Delta\omega = \omega_2 - \omega_1 $ |
and the time elapsed ($\Delta t$) in relation to the time ($t$) and the start Time ($t_0$):
| $ \Delta t \equiv t - t_0 $ |
the equation for the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$):
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
can be expressed as:
$\alpha_0 = \alpha = \displaystyle\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \displaystyle\frac{\omega - \omega_0}{t - t_0}$
Solving this, we obtain:
| $ \omega = \omega_0 + \alpha_0 ( t - t_0 )$ |
(ID 3237)
In the case of the constant Angular Acceleration ($\alpha_0$), the angular Speed ($\omega$) as a function of the time ($t$) follows a linear relationship with the start Time ($t_0$) and the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$) in the form of:
| $ \omega = \omega_0 + \alpha_0 ( t - t_0 )$ |
Given that the angular displacement is equal to the area under the angular velocity-time curve, in this case, one can add the contributions of the rectangle:
$\omega_0(t-t_0)$
and the triangle:
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\alpha_0(t-t_0)^2$
This leads us to the expression for the angle ($\theta$) and the initial Angle ($\theta_0$):
| $ \theta = \theta_0 + \omega_0 ( t - t_0 )+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \alpha_0 ( t - t_0 )^2$ |

The rate at which angular velocity changes over time is defined as the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$). To measure it, we need to observe the difference in Angular Speeds ($\Delta\omega$) and the time elapsed ($\Delta t$).
The equation describing the mean Angular Acceleration ($\bar{\alpha}$) is as follows:
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
(ID 3234)
Similar to translational acceleration, there is the concept of Instantaneous Angular Acceleration, which is the angular acceleration with difference in Angular Speeds $rad/s$, mean Angular Acceleration $rad/s^2$ and time elapsed $s$
| $ \bar{\alpha} \equiv \displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\omega }{ \Delta t }$ |
that exists at a specific time. This is calculated in the approximation of very small time intervals $(\Delta t\rightarrow 0)$, meaning
$\alpha=\lim_{\Delta t\rightarrow 0}\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\omega}{\Delta t}=\displaystyle\frac{d\omega}{dt}$
where
| $ \alpha =\displaystyle\frac{ d\omega }{ dt }$ |

With the constant Angular Acceleration ($\alpha_0$), the angular Speed ($\omega$) forms a linear relationship with the time ($t$), incorporating the variables the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$) and the start Time ($t_0$) as follows:
| $ \omega = \omega_0 + \alpha_0 ( t - t_0 )$ |
This equation represents a straight line in the angular velocity versus time plane.

Given that the total displacement corresponds to the area under the angular velocity versus time curve, in the case of a constant Angular Acceleration ($\alpha_0$), it is determined that the displacement the angle ($\theta$) with the variables the initial Angle ($\theta_0$), the time ($t$), the start Time ($t_0$), and the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$) is as follows:
| $ \theta = \theta_0 + \omega_0 ( t - t_0 )+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \alpha_0 ( t - t_0 )^2$ |
This expression corresponds to the general form of a parabola.

If we divide the relationship between the mean Speed ($\bar{v}$), the radio ($r$), and the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$), expressed in the following equation:
| $ v = r \omega $ |
by the value of the time elapsed ($\Delta t$), we can obtain the factor that allows us to calculate the angular acceleration along the orbit:
| $ a = r \alpha $ |
