The second hand on a watch is 3.0 cm long and rotates smoothly. What is the speed of the tip of the hand?

v = 0.00314 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to find the angular velocity of the second hand of the clock:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular velocity = ?

θ = angular displacement

t = time taken

For 1 complete revolution:

θ = 2π radians

t = 60 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/60 s

ω = 0.104 rad/s

Now, for the speed of the tip of second hand of watch:

v = rω

where,

v = speed of the tip = ?

r = radius = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Therefore,

v = (0.03 m)(0.104 rad/s)

v = 0.00314 m/s

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
