Angular Velocity Converter
Comprehensive Angular Velocity Converter
Angular velocity is a measure of the rate of rotation around an axis and is critical in fields such as mechanical engineering, robotics, and astronomy. Our Angular Velocity Converter allows you to effortlessly convert between various units of angular speed—from radians per second to degrees per second, revolutions per minute, and more.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a wide range of angular velocity units, with conversion factors given relative to the base unit, radian per second [rad/s]:
SI Unit:
Radian/second [rad/s] – The standard unit for angular velocity.
Time-Scaled Angular Units:
Radian/day [rad/d], Radian/hour [rad/h], Radian/minute [rad/min] – For expressing angular speed over different time intervals.
Degree-Based Units:
Degree/day [°/d], Degree/hour [°/h], Degree/minute [°/min], Degree/second [°/s] – Useful for applications in navigation and astronomy.
Revolution-Based Units:
Revolution/day [r/d], Revolution/hour [r/h], Revolution/minute [r/min], Revolution/second [r/s] – Representing complete rotations.
How Does It Work?
Our converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to Radians/second:
The input value is first converted into radians per second using the conversion factor associated with the selected “From” unit.Convert from Radians/second:
The resulting value in radians per second is then converted to the desired “To” unit.
This method ensures accuracy and consistency across all conversions, no matter which angular velocity units you choose.
