Angular Acceleration Converter — rad/s², deg/s², RPM/s
Convert between 6 units of angular acceleration — rad/s², deg/s², rev/s², RPM/s, rad/min², and deg/min². Angular acceleration (α) equals torque divided by moment of inertia (α = τ/I). Used in robotics, electric motor control, flywheel design, and vehicle dynamics. A figure skater pulling in their arms experiences angular acceleration as their spin rate increases.
About the Angular Acceleration Converter
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity — how quickly a rotating object speeds up or slows down. The SI unit is radians per second squared (rad/s²). It is the rotational analogue of linear acceleration and appears in the equations of motion for any rotating system, from electric motors and gyroscopes to spinning spacecraft.
- ›Angular acceleration equals torque divided by moment of inertia (α = τ/I)
- ›A figure skater pulling in their arms reduces moment of inertia, increasing angular velocity
- ›Flywheel energy storage systems use precise angular acceleration control
- ›Electric vehicle motors can achieve very high angular acceleration due to instant torque
