An arc of a circle with the same length as the radius of that circle corresponds to an angle of 1 radian. A full circle corresponds to a full turn, or approximately 6.28 radians, which is expressed here using the Greek letter tau (τ). Some special angles in radians, stated in terms of 𝜏. A comparison of angles expressed in degrees and radians.
Signed binary angle measurement. Black is traditional degrees representation, green is a BAM as a decimal number and red is hexadecimal 32-bit BAM. In this figure the 32-bit binary integers are interpreted as signed binary fixed-point values with scaling factor 2 −31, representing fractions between −1.0 (inclusive) and +1.0 (exclusive).
Audio CD players read their discs at a precise, constant rate (4.3218 Mbit/s of raw physical data for 1.4112 Mbit/s (176.4 KB/s) of usable audio data) and thus must vary the disc's rotational speed from 8 Hz (480 rpm) when reading at the innermost edge to 3.5 Hz (210 rpm) at the outer edge.
A scale factor of 0.7812 converts a bin number into the corresponding physical unit (hertz). A common practice is to sample the frequency spectrum of the sampled data at frequency intervals of f s N , {\displaystyle {\tfrac {f_{s}}{N}},} for some arbitrary integer N {\displaystyle N} (see § Sampling the DTFT ).
is the motor velocity, or motor speed, [2] constant (not to be confused with kV, the symbol for kilovolt), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) per volt or radians per volt second, rad/V·s: [3]
The plate scale of a telescope connects the angular separation of an object with the linear separation of its image at the focal plane. If focal length f {\displaystyle f} is measured in mm, the plate scale in radians per mm is given by angular separation θ and the linear separation of the image at the focal plane s , or by simply the focal ...
The Earth's rotational rate around its own axis is 15 minutes of arc per minute of time (360 degrees / 24 hours in day); the Earth's rotational rate around the Sun (not entirely constant) is roughly 24 minutes of time per minute of arc (from 24 hours in day), which tracks the annual progression of the Zodiac.
