How to Convert Degrees per Second Squared to RPM per Second
To convert degrees per second squared to rpm per second, multiply the angular acceleration by the following conversion ratio: 0.1666667 rpm per second/degree per second squared.
Since one degree per second squared is equal to 0.1666667 rpm per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angular acceleration in rpm per second is equal to the angular acceleration in degrees per second squared multiplied by 0.1666667.
For example, here's how to convert 5 degrees per second squared to rpm per second using the formula above.
How Many RPM per Second Are in a Degree per Second Squared?
There are 0.1666667 rpm per second in a degree per second squared, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our degree per second squared to revolution per minute per second calculator automatically converts your angular acceleration measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Degrees per Second Squared and rpm per second are both units used to measure angular acceleration. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Degree per Second Squared?
A degree per second squared is a unit of angular acceleration equal to 0.0174533 radians per second squared (rad/s²), the base unit for angular acceleration. Equal to π/180 rad/s². [1]
The degree per second squared is classified as a standard unit of angular acceleration. Degrees per Second Squared can be abbreviated as °/s²; for example, 1 degree per second squared can be written as 1 °/s².
When working with degrees per second squared (°/s²) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, degrees per second squared (°/s²) are widely used across standard angular acceleration applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Revolution per Minute per Second?
A revolution per minute per second is a unit of angular acceleration equal to 0.1047198 radians per second squared (rad/s²), the base unit for angular acceleration. Change of 1 RPM every second (≈ 0.10472 rad/s²). [2]
The revolution per minute per second is classified as a standard unit of angular acceleration. RPM per Second can be abbreviated as RPM/s; for example, 1 revolution per minute per second can be written as 1 RPM/s.
When working with rpm per second (RPM/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, rpm per second (RPM/s) are widely used across standard angular acceleration applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting angular acceleration between degrees per second squared (°/s²) and rpm per second (RPM/s), keep full floating-point precision (1 °/s² = 0.1666667 RPM/s; 1 RPM/s = 6 °/s²) during intermediate calculations and round only the final revolution per minute per second figure to match your instrument tolerance.
