Torque causes angular acceleration.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that torque causes angular acceleration?

Yes. Multiple physics textbooks and references state that a net torque causes angular acceleration, and a Wikipedia article describes torque as inducing change in rotational state. One source notes angular acceleration can also arise without external torque, but the core claim is directly supported.
