The second hand on a clock has a length of .30m. What distance does the tip of the second hand sweep through in one minute and 30 seconds?
a.) 2.8m
b.) .45m
c.) 1.8m
d.) 5.0m
Please explain and show all work
The second hand completes one revolution in 60 seconds. From this we find the angular speed of the second hand and use that to find the angular displacement. Use the angular displacement and radius, which is the length of the second hand, to find the distance travelled as shown below
