Yes, and the use of that is to transfer energy so you don't have to put in as much force.

Starting from rest, a wheel with constant angular acceleration turns through an angle of 25 rad in a time t. Through what angle

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

After time 2t, the wheel will turn through an angle of 100 rad.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the wheel, $\omega_i = 0$

time of motion, t = t

angular distance, θ = 25 rad

The constant angular acceleration is calculated as;

$\theta = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\theta = 0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\2\theta = at^2\\\\a = \frac{2\theta }{t^2} \\\\a = \frac{2\ \times \ 25 }{t^2}\\\\a = \frac{50}{t^2} \\\\when \ t = 2t\\\\\theta = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\theta = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{50}{t^2})(2t)^2\\\\\theta =\frac{1}{2}(\frac{50}{t^2})(4t^2)\\\\\theta = 100 \ rad$
