Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does radian/square second measure?
-
It is the SI unit of angular acceleration indicating how quickly angular velocity changes in radians per second every second.
-
Why convert to revolution/minute/second?
-
This unit expresses how many RPM the angular velocity changes per second, useful in mechanical engineering and motor control.
-
Is revolution/minute/second an SI unit?
-
No, it is a non-SI unit often used for practical purposes but may be less precise scientifically.
