Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does radian per second measure?
-
Radian per second measures angular velocity as the rate at which an angle in radians changes per second.
-
Why convert from radian/second to degree/second?
-
Converting to degree/second offers a more intuitive unit for many practical applications involving angles like aircraft attitude or sensor outputs.
-
Is the conversion exact or approximate?
-
The conversion uses a constant rate 1 rad/s = 57.2957795131 °/s, but precision depends on decimal rounding.
