In this article I will show you how to convert 5 radians per second into hertz. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 5 rps to hz. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Radians per second to Hertz
A radians per second is smaller than a hertz. I know that a rps is smaller than a hz because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 5 radians per second into hertz, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for rps to hz is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 5 rps to hz by multiplying 0.1592 by the number of radians per second we have, which is 5.
So, the answer to the question "what is 5 radians per second in hertz?" is 0.796 hz.
Radians per second to Hertz Conversion Table
Below is a sample conversion table for rps to hz:
| Radians per second (rps) | Hertz (hz) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 | 0 |
| 0.1 | 0.02 |
| 1 | 0.16 |
| 2 | 0.32 |
| 3 | 0.48 |
| 5 | 0.8 |
| 10 | 1.59 |
| 20 | 3.18 |
| 50 | 7.96 |
| 100 | 15.92 |
| 1000 | 159.2 |
Best Conversion Unit for 5 rps
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 5 rps.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 5 rps is radians per second and the amount is 5 rps.
