Question

What is the angular velocity of the second hand on a clock? (Hint: It takes the second hand 60 seconds to rotate 2π radians. Divide the number of radians by the number of seconds so that your answer has units of radians/second.)

Answer 1

Angular velocity of the second hand on a clock is 0.105 rad/s

Explanation:

Time taken to rotate 2π radians = 60 seconds

Angular displacement = 2π radians

Time taken = 60 seconds

Angular displacement = Angular velocity x Time

2π = Angular velocity x 60

Angular velocity = 0.105 rad/s

Angular velocity of the second hand on a clock is 0.105 rad/s
