What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform angular velocity values from radians per second (rad/s), a standard SI unit for high-speed rotation, into degrees per hour (°/h), which is suitable for describing slow angular changes over extended time periods.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value of angular velocity in radian/second you want to convert.
  • Select radian/second as the input unit and degree/hour as the output unit.
  • Calculate the result using the tool or the provided formula.
  • Review the converted value expressed in degrees per hour.

Key Features

  • Converts angular velocity from radian/second to degree/hour accurately using a defined conversion rate.
  • Supports applications in mechanical engineering, robotics, astronomy, and aerospace for various rotational speed measurements.
  • Provides easy-to-understand formula and example calculations for quick reference.
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installations and accessible anytime.

Examples

  • Convert 0.5 rad/s to degree/hour: 0.5 × 206264.8062471 = 103132.40312355 °/h.
  • Convert 2 rad/s to degree/hour: 2 × 206264.8062471 = 412529.6124942 °/h.

Common Use Cases

  • Describing motor shaft rotational speed and calculating torque in engineering.
  • Defining joint angular rates in robotics and servo motion control.
  • Tracking slow planetary or Earth's rotation rates in astronomy.
  • Quantifying low-rate attitude drift in spacecraft and inertial navigation systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion primarily when analyzing slow angular velocities or drift over time.
  • Interpret large numeric results carefully due to different time scales and unit sizes.
  • Consult domain-specific requirements when applying converted values in engineering or astronomical contexts.

Limitations

  • Converting high-speed rad/s values to degree/hour can produce very large numbers needing cautious interpretation.
  • The conversion fits better for slow angular changes rather than rapid rotational motions.
  • This tool does not provide error margins or precision details for conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert radian/second to degree/hour?
Converting rad/s to °/h is useful to describe slow rotational changes over long periods, such as planetary rotations or spacecraft attitude drift.

What is the conversion factor from radian/second to degree/hour?
1 radian/second equals 206264.8062471 degree/hour.

Can this converter be used for high-speed rotations?
While possible, results for rapid motions may yield large values that require careful interpretation; it's best suited for slow angular velocities.

Key Terminology

Radian/second [rad/s]
SI derived unit for angular velocity indicating angle in radians swept per second, used in engineering and physics.
Degree/hour [°/h]
Unit of angular velocity expressing degrees of change per hour, useful for slow rotational or drift rates.
