Question

The minute hand of a wall clock measures 24 cm from its tip to the axis about which it rotates. The magnitude and angle of the displacement vector of the tip are to be determined for three time intervals. What are the magnitude and angle from a quarter after the hour to half past, the magnitude and angle for the next half hour, and the magnitude and angle for the hour after that? (Use a coordinate system with the origin at the clock center, +x rightward toward the "3:00" position, and +y upward toward the "12:00" position.)

(a) the magnitude from a quarter after the hour to half past
 cm

(b) the angle from a quarter after the hour to half past
 ° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)

(c) the magnitude for the next half hour
 cm

(d) the angle for the half hour in part (c)
 ° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)

(e) the magnitude for the hour after that
 cm

(f) What is the angle for the hour in part (e)
 ° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)
