Understanding Angular Velocity

Angular velocity (ω) is the rate at which an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, i.e., how quickly the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time. It is typically expressed in radians per second (rad/s).

Common Angular Velocity Units
Unit Name Symbol Relation to Radian/Second (rad/s)
Radian per second rad/s Base unit (1 rad/s)
Radian per minute rad/min 1 rad/min = (1/60) rad/s ≈ 0.01667 rad/s
Degree per second °/s, deg/s 1 °/s = (π/180) rad/s ≈ 0.01745 rad/s
Degree per minute °/min, deg/min 1 °/min = (π / (180 * 60)) rad/s ≈ 0.0002909 rad/s
Revolution per minute rpm, rev/min 1 rpm = (2π/60) rad/s ≈ 0.10472 rad/s
Revolution per second rps, rev/s 1 rps = 2π rad/s ≈ 6.28318 rad/s
