500 RPM to rad/s
500 RPM ≈ 52.36 rad/s
500 revolutions per minute is approximately 52.36 radians per second.
How to convert 500 RPM to rad/s
Use the formula rad/s = RPM × 0.10471975512:
rad/s = 500 × 0.10471975512rad/s = 52.359878
So 500 RPM = 52.359878 rad/s, or about 52.36 rad/s rounded.
Rounded values and quick estimate
- Rounded to a whole number: 52 rad/s
- Rounded to one decimal place: 52.4 rad/s
- Conversion factor: 1 revolution per minute = 0.1047 radians per second
Quick mental estimate: divide by 10 (multiply by 0.105). For 500 RPM that gives about 50 rad/s — off by 2.36 rad/s (4.5%). Use the exact formula when precision matters.
