Revolution per second squared quick reference
| Revolution per second squared | Radian per second squared | Revolution per minute per second | Degree per second squared |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rev/s² | ≈ 6.283185307 rad/s² | = 60 rpm/s | = 360 °/s² |
| 10 rev/s² | ≈ 62.83185307 rad/s² | = 600 rpm/s | = 3600 °/s² |
| 100 rev/s² | ≈ 628.3185307 rad/s² | = 6000 rpm/s | = 36000 °/s² |
| 1000 rev/s² | ≈ 6283.185307 rad/s² | = 60000 rpm/s | = 360000 °/s² |
Where the revolution per second squared fits
