rad/second to watt/kilogram
Please provide values below to convert rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] to watt/kilogram [W/kg], or change ↔.
rad/second [rd/s, rad/s]
Definition: A non-SI unit of absorbed radiation dose rate equivalent to 0.01 gray per second.
Historyandorigin: The rad was used as the unit for absorbed radiation dose before being replaced by the gray in the SI system.
CurrentUse: Though no longer the standard in SI units, the rad is still encountered in some radiation protection contexts.
funfact: Rads were used for a long time before the adoption of the gray, and even today, the term 'rad' is still familiar in older literature!
watt/kilogram [W/kg]
Definition: A unit of power per unit mass, often used in radiation dose rate measurements for high-energy systems.
Historyandorigin: The watt is the SI unit of power, and watt per kilogram is used to assess the effect of power on materials over time.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific contexts, particularly in space science and radiation studies, to measure energy transfer rates.
funfact: Watt per kilogram is crucial for measuring energy absorption in systems where radiation levels are high!

How to Convert rad/second to watt/kilogram
1 rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] = 0.01 watt/kilogram [W/kg]
1 watt/kilogram [W/kg] = 100 rad/second [rd/s, rad/s]
we use cross multiplication method
rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] → watt/kilogram [W/kg]
1 → 0.01
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.01=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.015
