Q:

# How do you convert radians per second to meters per second?

A:

To convert radians per second to meters per second, multiply theta, the rate of motion in radians per second, by the radius of the arc along which the motion is taking place. The radius measurement must be in meters.

The conversion of radians per second to meters per second is equivalent to finding the length of the arc traveled in one second. Arc length is equal to the arc radius multiplied by the angle covered by the arc, provided the angle is measured in radians. The unit of the resulting arc length is the same as the unit of the radius measurement.

Radians measure angles as the arc length of a circle subtended by an angle, divided by the radius of the circle. Each radian is equal to approximately 57.3 degrees, and there are approximately 6.28 radians in a full circle.

To draw an ellipse or oval with a string, a person needs to pinpoint the exact measurements with a compass and pins, and move a pencil in an arc after it has been attached to a string. Provided that the string is extremely taut, this is a pretty simple task to accomplish.
