Question

look at your wall clock calculate the length of the minute hand and hour hand.
[a] observe how much distance is covered by its minute hand in 10 hours, find out its total displacement, and explain with a diagram.

b find out the total distance covered by its hours and in 12 hours also find out the total displacements

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation: Length of the minute hand = radius of the clock = r = 14 cm. From 10 am to 10:30 am, the tip of the minute hand moves to diametrically opposite point on the clock. Total distance covered by the minute hand = (1/2) circumference of the clock = πr = 22/7 * 14 = 44 cm
