how to convert m/s to rad/s

The formula to convert linear speed  expressed in meters per second [] to angular velocity  expressed in radians per second [] is given by:



where:

•  is the linear velocity expressed in meters per second ()
•  is the angular velocity expressed in radians per second ()
•  is the radius expressed in meters ()

For example, let's considere a vehicle with wheels having a radius of 10 centimetres. If the vehicle is moving at the linear velocity of 2 m/s, the rotation speed of the wheels is given by:
