The minute hand on a clock makes one complete revolution every hour, moving clockwise. (a) What is the velocity of the minute hand in radians/minute? (Keep in mind that clockwise rotation is considered movement in the negative direction). (b) At 2:00, the minute hand is in the 12 o'clock position. What angle (measured from the 12 o'clock position) has it swept out at 2:31 ? (c) If the minute hand is 4 inches long, what arc (measured in inches) has it swept out at this time?

Question
The minute hand on a clock makes one complete revolution every hour, moving clockwise.
(a) What is the velocity of the minute hand in radians/minute? (Keep in mind that clockwise rotation is
considered movement in the negative direction).
(b) At 2:00, the minute hand is in the 12 o'clock position. What angle (measured from the 12 o'clock
position) has it swept out at 2:31 ?
(c) If the minute hand is 4 inches long, what arc (measured in inches) has it swept out at this time?
