'L What is angular speed of a second hand of a clock. If the second hand is 10 cm long, find the linear speed at its tip.'
Added by Chad E.
Step 1
The second hand of a clock completes one full rotation in 60 seconds, which means it moves through an angle of 360 degrees in 60 seconds. Therefore, the angular speed of the second hand can be calculated as: Angular speed = (360 degrees) / (60 seconds) = 6 Show more…
