The angular velocity of the minute hand of a clock in degrees per second is

The angular velocity of the minute hand of a clock in degrees per second is
  1. $0.24$
  2. $0.1$
  3. $0.6$
  4. $0.12$

Solution

Angular velocity $=\frac{\text { angle discribed }}{\text { time taken }}=\frac{360^{\circ}}{3600} \mathrm{~s}=0.1^{\circ} / \mathrm{s}$ The angular speed of the minute hand of a clock in degree per second is 0.1 .
