Question

Suppose the tip of the minute hand of a clock is 2 in. from the center of the clock. For the following duration, determine the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand.

( − 40 min )

Answer 1

10 1/2 hours

Answer 2

just making sure it says -40 correct ?

Answer 3

If you consider clock as a circle, the radius will be 2 inches.

For full circle i.e 60 minutes it turns 2pi radians

fo r 40 minutes it turns 2pi *40 /60

distance trveled = rθ, where r = radius and θ = radians
