3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

The length of second's hand in a watch is $1 \,cm.$ The change in velocity of its tip in $15\, seconds$ is

AZero
B$\frac{\pi }{{30\sqrt 2 }}cm/\sec $
C$\frac{\pi }{{30}}cm/\sec $
D$\frac{{\pi \sqrt 2 }}{{30}}cm/\sec $

Solution

(d) In $15\, second's$ hand rotate through $90°$.
Change in velocity $\left| {\overrightarrow {\Delta v} } \right| = 2v\sin (\theta /2)$
$ = 2(r\omega )\sin (90^\circ /2)$$ = 2 \times 1 \times \frac{{2\pi }}{T} \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
$ = \frac{{4\pi }}{{60\sqrt 2 }} = \frac{{\pi \sqrt 2 }}{{30}}\frac{{cm}}{{\sec }}$ [As $T = 60 \,sec$]
