JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 6th September Morning Slot - No. 9)

A clock has a continuously moving second's hand of 0.1 m length. The average acceleration of the tip of the hand (in units of ms–2) is of the order of :
10-3
10-1
10-2
10-4

Explanation

R = 0.1 m

$$\omega $$ = $${{2\pi } \over T}$$ = $${{2\pi } \over {60}}$$ = 0.105 rad/sec

a = $${\omega ^2}R$$

= (0.105)2(0.1)

= 0.0011

= 1.1 $$ \times $$ 10-3

Average acceleration is of the order of 10–3.
