You measure a watch's hour and minute hands to be 7.4 mm and 12.1 mm long, respectively. part a in one day, by how much does the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand exceed the distance traveled by the tip of the hour hand?

109.385m

Explanation:

In 1 day, the hour hand travels 2 circles, or 4π rad in angular. The distance it travels is its angle times the radius

7.4 * 4π = 93 mm

In 1 day, the minute hand travels 24*60 = 1440 circles, or 1440 * 2π = 2880π rad in angular. The distance it travels is

12.1 * 2880π = 109478 mm

So the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand that exceed the distance traveled by the tip of the hour hand is

109478 - 93 = 109385 mm or 109.385 m

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
