Radians don't have units of their own, and are in terms of the radius (how many "radiuses" you traveled along the outside). Because we measured the radius in meters, the radians are "meters". @mahir: Great question.

You converted 2000 degrees/sec to meters per second in question1, what happened to the conversion of radians per second to meters per second? Hi Kalid,
