Rotational speed over time
Assumes constant angular acceleration. Signed displacement can cancel when direction reverses; total travel counts both directions.
rad/s2 and deg/s2
Radians per second squared are common in physics and engineering, while degrees per second squared may be easier for angle-based problems.
- 1 rad/s2 = 57.2958 deg/s2.
- 1 deg/s2 = 0.0174533 rad/s2.
- Use radians for most physics formulas.
RPM per second and rotations
Rotating machinery, motors, and motion-control systems may describe angular acceleration in rpm per second or revolutions per second squared.
- 1 revolution = 2 pi radians.
- RPM per second can be converted through revolutions per minute.
- Keep time units consistent before comparing values.
Where angular acceleration matters
Use this converter for motors, wheels, turbines, rotating shafts, robotics, physics homework, and motion-control examples.
- Angular acceleration describes how quickly angular velocity changes.
- Positive and negative signs can indicate speeding up or slowing down.
- Linear tangential acceleration depends on radius.

Angular Acceleration Converter FAQ
What is angular acceleration?
Angular acceleration is the rate at which angular velocity changes over time.
How do I convert rad/s2 to deg/s2?
Multiply rad/s2 by 57.2958.
How do I convert deg/s2 to rad/s2?
Multiply deg/s2 by 0.0174533.
Is angular acceleration the same as angular velocity?
No. Angular velocity is rotational speed, while angular acceleration is the change in rotational speed.
When should I use radians?
Use radians for most physics and engineering formulas because they work naturally with circular motion equations.
