2 2 The clock on a public building has a bell that strikes each hour so that people who cannot see the clock can know what hour of the day it is. At precisely 6 o clock, the clock starts to strike. It strikes 6 times. At the first strike of the bell, a man s wrist-watch is as shown in Fig.2.1. 11 12 1 2 9 8 7 6 Fig.2.1 When the bell strikes for the sixth time, the wrist-watch is as shown in Fig.2.2. 11 12 1 2 9 8 7 6 (a) Fig.2.2 Calculate the time interval between the 1st strike and the 6th strike. (b) time interval = s [1] Calculate the time interval between one strike and the next. (c) At precisely 11 o clock, the clock starts to strike. Calculate the time interval between the 1st strike and the 11th strike. time interval = s [2] time interval = s [2] [Total: ]
The mechanical stop-clock shown in Fig..1 has a seconds hand, which rotates once every minute and a minutes hand, which rotates once every hour. start reset stop 60 0 minutes hand 0 1 seconds hand 0 2 Fig..1 (a) A student uses the clock to time the intervals between trains travelling along the railway past his school. He sets the clock to zero (both hands vertical). As train 1 passes, he starts the clock and leaves it running. After s, train 2 passes. On the blank face of Fig..2, show the positions of the two hands of the clock as train 2 passes. Make sure it is clear which hand is which. [2] 60 0 1 0 0 Fig..2 2
