About the angular acceleration converter

Convert angular acceleration between rad/s², deg/s², and revolution-based units. Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity — used in rotational dynamics, motor control, and gyroscopic analysis. The SI unit is the radian per second squared.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many rad/s² is 1 rev/s²?

    One revolution per second squared equals 2π ≈ 6.2832 rad/s².

  • How is angular acceleration related to torque?

    Torque τ = Iα, where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration. This is the rotational analogue of Newton’s second law.

  • What is the SI unit of angular acceleration?

    The radian per second squared (rad/s²).
