While sitting in physics class one day, you begin to ponder the workings of the analog clock on the classroom wall. You notice as the hands sweep in a continuous motion that there are exactly t = 44 minutes left in class.
Through what angle (in radians) will the second-hand turn before the end of class?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Angle turned = 276.32 radians

Explanation:

Given:

Time left for the class to end (t) = 44 min

We know that, the second hand performs one complete circle for every minute passed as 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

Also, one complete circle is equivalent to 360 degrees or 2Ï€ radians.

So, for every minute passed, the second hand completes 2Ï€ radians.

Therefore, the angle turned by the second hand when 't' minutes are passed is given as:

Angle turned =  Angle per rotation × Number of minutes.

Angle turned = [tex]2\pi\times t[/tex]

Plug in 3.14 for π, 44 for 't' and solve for angle turned. This gives,

Angle turned = [tex]2\times 3.14\times 44[/tex]

∴ Angle turned = 276.32 radians

The angle turned by the second hand before the end of the class when 44 minutes are passed is;

Angle turned = 276.46 radians

We are given;

Time left for class to end; t = 44 minutes

Now, in a clock it is known that one minute equals 60 seconds and as such the second hand will perform one complete cycle for every minute passed.

Now, we know that;

1 complete cycle = 2Ï€ radians.

Thus, for each minute completed in the cycle, the second hand will have completed 2Ï€ radians.

Finally, the angle turned by the second hand before the end of the class when 't' minutes are passed is given by the formula:

Angle turned =  Angle per complete cycle × Number of minutes.

Thus;

when t = 44 minutes;

Angle turned = 2π × 44

Angle turned = 276.46 radians
