    2. Change the answer to rpm, the unit you picked: divide by 0.10471975512

      376.9911180.10471975512=3,600 rpm
  3. 3. Angular velocity: 36 °/s

    1. Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)

      72 °×0.0174532925=1.256637 rad
    2. Divide the angle turned by the time it took to get the angular velocity (ω)

      1.2566372=0.628319 rad/s
    3. Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252

      0.6283190.01745329252=36 °/s
  4. 4. Angular velocity: 31.67 °/s

    1. Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)
