How to Convert Rotations per/sec to radians per second

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To convert rotations per second to radians per second, multiply the number of rotations by 2π. For example, if a disk rotates 15 times in 25 seconds, the conversion process involves calculating 15 rotations divided by 25 seconds, resulting in 0.6 rotations per second. This is then converted to radians per second using the formula (2π * rotations) / seconds, yielding a final result of 6π radians per second.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement




How do you convert Rotations per/sec to radians/sec

Ex:

a disk rotates 15 times in 25 seconds convert to radians/sec

Attempt:

15 rotations / 25 seconds

=

1 rotation / 0.6 seconds

1 rotations = 2 pi rad
