Answer:
The distance the tip of the second hand travels in 10 minutes is 502 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The second hand on a clock is 8 cm long.
To find : What is the distance the tip of the second hand travels in 10 minutes?
Solution :
The circumference of clock is [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
The radius is r=8 cm
[tex]C=2\times 8\times \pi[/tex]
[tex]C=16\pi[/tex]
i.e. in 1 minute it cover [tex]16\pi[/tex]
In 10 minutes it cover [tex]16\pi\times 10[/tex]
In 10 minutes it cover [tex]160\times 3.14[/tex]
In 10 minutes it cover [tex]502.4[/tex]
Therefore, the distance the tip of the second hand travels in 10 minutes is 502 cm.
