Question
How do you convert 20m/s to rad/s?

Answer
Is that 20 meters/second converted to radians/second?

If so, then we need more info!  rad/sec is an angular
speed..thus, the 20 m/s would have to be a linear
speed in a circular motion.  Thus, we need to know the
radius of the circular path.  Do you have that?
