    Suppose a clock has its minute hand of span 4 cm. The average velocity of tip of the minute land in the time interval 600 am to 6:30 am is

    A)  \[3.8\times {{10}^{-3}}cm\text{/}s\]     

    B)  \[4.2\times {{10}^{-7}}cm\text{/}s\]

    C)  \[4.4\times {{10}^{-3}}cm\text{/}s\]     

    D)  \[4.4\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\text{/}s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    As between the time 6 : 00 am and 6 : 30 am the angular change is \[180{}^\circ \] The linear distance between the initial and final position of the tip is equal to the diameter of the clock. In this case, displacement \[=2\times 4=8\,cm\] Also, number of seconds between 6:00 am and 6:30 am = 60 x 30 = 1800 s Thus, average velocity in this interval of time displacement \[{{v}_{av}}=\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}=\frac{8}{1800}=4.4\times {{10}^{-3}}cm\text{/}s\]
