How to convert radians per second to degrees per second

Angular speed measures rotation, not linear speed. To find tangential speed you also need the radius. Revolutions per minute are divided by 60 when converted to revolutions per second.

Use x for the value in rad/s, b for the intermediate value in rad/s, and y for the result in °/s.

°/s = rad/s ÷ 0.017453292519943295

Worked examples

  • 10 rad/s ≈ 572.957795131 °/s

    Step 1: (10 × 1) ≈ 10 rad/s.
    Step 2: 10 ÷ 0.0174532925199 ≈ 572.957795131 °/s.

  • 20 rad/s ≈ 1145.91559026 °/s

    Step 1: (20 × 1) ≈ 20 rad/s.
    Step 2: 20 ÷ 0.0174532925199 ≈ 1145.91559026 °/s.

Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.

About Radians per second

Radians per second (rad/s) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 1), where x is the numerical value in rad/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.

About Degrees per second

Degrees per second (°/s) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 0.0174532925199), where x is the numerical value in °/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
