- Friction in an old clock causes it to lose 1 minute per hour. Assume the angular acceleration is constant, the positive z axis points out of the face of the clock, and at the beginning of the hour it was at its ideal angular speed. Find the angular acceleration of the minute hand (long hand) and its angular velocity at the end of the hour.arrow_forwardA ball rolls to the left along a horizontal surface, up the slope, and then continues along a horizontal surface (Fig. P12.70).
