How to Convert radian per second to kilohertzkilohertz
1 rad/s = 0.00015915494309189535 kHz
1 kHz = 6283.185307179586 rad/s
Example: convert 61 rad/s to kHz:
61 rad/s = 61 x 0.00015915494309189535 = 0.009708451528605616 kHz
radian per second
Definition: Radians per second (rad/s) is the SI unit of angular speed or angular velocity. It represents the rate of change of an angle in radians over time, specifically the number of radians rotated in one second.
History/origin: The radian as a unit of angle measurement is fundamental in mathematics and physics. Defining angular speed in radians per second is essential for consistency with other SI units and simplifies many equations in rotational dynamics.
Current use: Radians per second is widely used in physics, engineering, and mathematics for describing rotational motion. It's essential in calculations involving torque, angular momentum, and rotational kinetic energy. It appears in fields such as mechanics, electrical engineering (e.g., analyzing AC circuits), and signal processing (e.g., representing signal frequencies).
kilohertz
Definition: A kilohertz (symbol: kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand (1000) hertz (Hz). The hertz, in turn, is the SI unit of frequency, defined as one cycle per second.
History/origin: The kilohertz is derived from the hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves. The prefix 'kilo-' denotes a factor of 10^3, adhering to the SI system of units.
Current use: Kilohertz is used to measure frequencies in the range of audio signals, radio waves (particularly AM radio), and some computer hardware components. It is a common unit in electronics, telecommunications, and signal processing.
