What Is This Tool?

This converter changes angular velocity values from degree per hour (°/h), a unit often used for slow rotational rates like Earth's rotation, into radian per minute (rad/min), an SI unit commonly used in motor control, simulations, and precise measurement contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree/hour (°/h)
  • Select degree/hour as the input unit and radian/minute as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent radian per minute (rad/min) value
  • Review the converted value for use in your specific application

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from degree/hour to radian/minute accurately
  • Supports use cases in astronomy, aerospace, and industrial automation
  • Displays results suitable for scientific and engineering analysis
  • Provides direct unit definitions and context for better understanding

Examples

  • 10 degree/hour equals 0.002908882 radian/minute
  • 50 degree/hour equals 0.01454441 radian/minute

Common Use Cases

  • Describing Earth's rotation and slow planetary rotational velocities
  • Specifying telescope or antenna tracking errors in astronomy
  • Quantifying attitude drift of spacecraft and inertial navigation systems
  • Setting angular velocity for motors and servomotors in control systems
  • Analyzing dynamics and vibrations in engineering laboratory equipment

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion when you need to express slow angular velocities in SI units
  • Apply the tool for transitioning from astronomical angular measurements to engineering contexts
  • Be mindful that the tool is optimal for slow speeds and low-rate rotations
  • Check converted values carefully in high-precision scientific work

Limitations

  • Conversion is less practical for high-speed rotations due to the small conversion factor
  • Potential precision loss from floating-point rounding can occur with very small input values
  • Degree/hour unit is designed for slow angular velocity, limiting its general speed applicability

Frequently Asked Questions

What does degree per hour [°/h] measure?
Degree per hour measures angular velocity as the angle change in degrees over one hour, useful for describing slow rotations like Earth's spin.

Why convert degree/hour to radian/minute?
Converting to radian/minute allows expressing angular velocity in SI units appropriate for scientific analysis, motor control, and simulations requiring radians.

Is this conversion suitable for fast rotational speeds?
No, since degree/hour measures very slow angular changes, this conversion is less suited for high-speed rotation applications.

Key Terminology

Degree/hour [°/h]
A unit of angular velocity expressing angle change in degrees per hour, used for slow rotations like Earth's rotation.
Radian/minute [rad/min]
An SI-derived unit measuring angular velocity as radians swept per minute, common in engineering and scientific fields.
Angular velocity
The rate of change of angular position of an object over time, measured in units like degrees/hour or radians/minute.
