The equation a = net Torque / rotational Inertia represents the angular acceleration of an object in rotational motion.
The angular acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net torque acting on it and inversely proportional to its rotational inertia. Rotational inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion.
Therefore, by dividing the net torque by the rotational inertia, we can determine how easily the object will accelerate in response to the applied torque. This equation is based on Newton's second law of motion, which relates acceleration to the net force acting on an object and its mass in linear motion, and is extended to rotational motion by considering the rotational inertia instead of mass.
