Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does radian per square minute measure?
-
Radian per square minute measures angular acceleration as the change in angular velocity in radians per minute, per minute.
-
When should I use revolution per square minute?
-
Use revolution per square minute when expressing angular acceleration as changes in revolutions per minute over minutes, common in motor control and mechanical systems.
-
Can I use this conversion for fast angular acceleration measurements?
-
No, this conversion is intended for minute-based acceleration changes and is not appropriate for high-frequency or instantaneous measurements.
