# Old-fashioned clocks and watches have an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. What is the angular frequency of the second hand?

Old-fashioned clocks and watches have an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. What is the angular frequency of the second hand?

- **A.** \( \frac{1}{60} \) \( \text{rad/s} \)
- **B.** \( 120\pi \) \( \text{rad/s} \)
- **C.** \( \frac{\pi}{60} \) \( \text{rad/s} \)
- **D.** \( 60 \) \( \text{rad/s} \)
- **E.** \( \frac{\pi}{30} \) \( \text{rad/s} \)
