  1. The second hand moves 1/60th of a full rotation per second, this is equivalent to 2π/60 radians per second this is known as the objects angular velocity. the equation linking linear velocity and angular velocity is v=rω where v=linear velocity, ω=angular velocity and r=radius and so we must substitute our values in. v=(15/1000)(π/30)=0.00157 m/s which is 1.57mm/s. notice instead of just putting 15 for the radius, i did 15/1000 in order to change it from millimetres to metres, this gave me the linear velocity in m/s.

How long does it take for the second hand of a watch to move 1 micron?

The second hand makes one full revolution in 60 seconds. The distance travelled by the tip depends on the length of the second hand - this is the radius of the circle. For example, for a 10-centimeter second-hand (the clock has a diameter of about 20 centimeters - that's a clock like you would typically see on a wall), the speed of the second-hand's tip is (2 x pi x radius) / 60 seconds = 2 x 3.14 x 10 / 60 or about 1.05 cm/second.
