Angular Acceleration Units Converter
Coversion factor: 1 rad/s2 = 57.295779513 °/s2
Additional information
Angular acceleration is a measure of how quickly the angular velocity of an object changes over time. In simpler terms, it quantifies the rate at which an object’s rotational speed or direction changes. Angular acceleration is a vector quantity and is usually denoted by the symbol (α) "alpha".
Mathematically, angular acceleration (α) can be defined as:
Where:
- α is the angular acceleration
- Δω is the change in angular velocity
- Δt is the change in time
The standard unit for angular acceleration in the International System of Units (SI) is radians per square second (rad/s2).
