Where the degree per second squared fits
The next smaller angular acceleration unit is the revolution per minute squared (rev/min²). 1 °/s² = 10 rev/min², and 1 rev/min² = 0.1 °/s².
The next larger angular acceleration unit is the revolution per minute per second (rpm/s). 1 °/s² ≈ 0.1666666667 rpm/s, and 1 rpm/s = 6 °/s².
