How to Convert RPM per Second to Degrees per Second Squared
To convert rpm per second to degrees per second squared, multiply the angular acceleration by the following conversion ratio: 6 degrees per second squared/revolution per minute per second.
Since one revolution per minute per second is equal to 6 degrees per second squared, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angular acceleration in degrees per second squared is equal to the angular acceleration in rpm per second multiplied by 6.
For example, here's how to convert 5 rpm per second to degrees per second squared using the formula above.
How Many Degrees per Second Squared Are in a Revolution per Minute per Second?
There are 6 degrees per second squared in a revolution per minute per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our revolution per minute per second to degree per second squared calculator automatically converts your angular acceleration measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
RPM per Second and degrees per second squared are both units used to measure angular acceleration. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
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). [1]
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.
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. [2]
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.
When converting angular acceleration between rpm per second (RPM/s) and degrees per second squared (°/s²), keep full floating-point precision (1 RPM/s = 6 °/s²; 1 °/s² = 0.1666667 RPM/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final degree per second squared figure to match your instrument tolerance.
