Answer:.pi/15 cm/s (approx .2094395 cm/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 2 as your radius which will make the circumference of the clock equal to 4 pi (remember the formula for circumference is pi * diameter)

Using the circuference we can use the formula Speed = distance/Time and plug in our numbers

4pi / 60 seconds = .2094395 cm/s or .002094395 m/s
