Acceleration Angular Converter

Convert angular acceleration between rad/s², degrees/s², RPM², and RPS² for motor control, robotics, and physics applications.

What this tool does

Convert angular acceleration between rad/s², degrees/s², RPM², and RPS² for motor control, robotics, and physics applications. Type an amount in radians per second squared, choose the units, and the tool converts it to degrees per second squared. It offers 7 angular acceleration units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Radian per second squared, Radian per minute squared, Degree per second squared, Degree per minute squared, Revolution per second squared, Revolution per minute squared, Revolution per minute per second (rpm/s). Starts as Radian per second squared.
  • To: Choose one of the same 7 units as "From". Starts as Degree per second squared.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from radians per second squared to degrees per second squared:

  • 1 rad/s² ≈ 57.29578°/s²
  • 5 rad/s² ≈ 286.478898°/s²
  • 10 rad/s² ≈ 572.957795°/s²
  • 50 rad/s² ≈ 2,864.788976°/s²
  • 100 rad/s² ≈ 5,729.577951°/s²

Multiply the number of radians per second squared by about 57.29578 to get degrees per second squared. The factor follows from exact definitions. It has more digits than fit here, so it is shown rounded.

Limitations

  • Converts angular acceleration only. It does not work out acceleration from speed and time, or torque.

FAQs

Q: How do I convert rad/s² to degrees per second squared?
A: Enter the value, choose rad/s² as the From unit and degrees per second squared as the To unit. The result and the other units in the list update immediately. To go the other way, swap the two units.
Q: What is the difference between rev/min² and rpm/s?
A: Both measure how fast a rotation speed changes. Revolution per minute squared uses minutes for both parts of the unit, while rpm per second is the change in rpm each second.
