  • Calculating Angular Displacement of a Second Hand: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the angular displacement of a second hand in 5 seconds:

    Understanding the Basics

    * Full Circle: A second hand completes a full circle (360 degrees) in 60 seconds.

    * Angular Displacement: This is the change in angle of an object.

    Calculation

    1. Angle per Second: The second hand moves 360 degrees / 60 seconds = 6 degrees per second.

    2. Angular Displacement in 5 Seconds: In 5 seconds, the angular displacement is 6 degrees/second * 5 seconds = 30 degrees.

    Therefore, the angular displacement of a second hand in 5 seconds is 30 degrees.
