Two common measures are revolutions per minute, and radians per second. One revolution is 2pi radians.

Radians are preferred in science because the radian (57.296 degrees) is the natural measure of angles, because d/dx sin(x) = cos (x) only if x is measured in radians.

How do you convert 500 mph to meters per second squared?

Conversion between the two units of measure is not possible because mph is a measure of speed, and m/s2 is a measure of acceleration, which is change in speed (or velocity).


What are two units of measure for speed?

In order to measure speed, a unit for distance and a unit for time must be used. Common units with which speed is expressed are meters per second (m/s), miles per hour (mph), and kilometers per hour (km/h).


Are measures of minor arcs equal measures of inscribed angles?

No. The first is a measure of length, the second is a measure of angular displacement. If you have two circles with arcs of the same angular measure, the lengths of the arcs will not be the same.

How many miles a hour is 2400 RPM?

There can be no conversion. rpm is a measure of angular speed whereas miles per hour is a measure of linear speed. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
