What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms measurements of angular velocity from radian per second (rad/s), which represents the angle in radians swept per second, into revolution per second (r/s), indicating complete rotations per second.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the angular velocity value in radian/second into the input field.
-
Select radian/second [rad/s] as the source unit and revolution/second [r/s] as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in revolutions per second.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the input units before conversion to ensure accurate results.
-
Use this tool for applications involving uniform circular motion.
-
Remember that the conversion focuses on numerical equivalence and does not account for physical system dynamics.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy may be impacted by rounding the conversion factor.
-
Assumes steady uniform circular motion; non-uniform or complex rotations are not covered.
-
Does not consider real-world effects like friction or load in rotational systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does radian/second measure?
-
Radian/second measures angular velocity as the angle in radians swept per second.
-
How is revolution/second related to frequency?
-
Revolution/second corresponds directly to rotational frequency, indicating the number of complete rotations per second.
-
Why might I convert radian/second to revolution/second?
-
Converting to revolution/second helps express angular velocity in full rotations per second, which is useful in applications focusing on rotational frequency.
