About angular acceleration units
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity: how quickly something spins up or slows down. Its SI unit is the radian per second squared (rad/s²).
One revolution is exactly 2π radians and one degree is π/180 radians, so all factors on this page follow from π. Motor and spindle data often give acceleration as a change in rpm per second: 1 rpm/s is π/30 rad/s², about 0.10472 rad/s².
Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert rpm per second to rad/s²?
- Multiply by π/30, about 0.10472. For example, 300 rpm/s is about 31.416 rad/s².
- How many degrees per second squared are in one rad/s²?
- About 57.2958, which is 180/π.
- How many degrees per second squared are in one radian per second squared?
- One radian per second squared ≈ 57.29577951 °/s² (degrees per second squared).
- How many revolutions per minute per second are in one radian per second squared?
- One radian per second squared ≈ 9.549296586 rpm/s (revolutions per minute per second).
