Which of the following types of motion cannot describe the motion of a clock’s hands?(a) Rectilinear(b) Circular(c) Periodic(d) HarmonicThe question was posed to me in class test.The above asked question is from Introduction to Motion in a Straight Line topic in portion Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT CHOICE is (a) RECTILINEAR

To explain I would say: The HANDS of a clock move in a CIRCULAR manner. Hence, the motion exhibited is circular motion. Moreover, it happens periodically, so it is also periodic motion. But its is not rectilinear motion.
