Best Answer

A clock's second hand makes one complete revolution each minute. Thus, by definition, it is rotating at one revolution per minute or one RPM. That's its "rotational velocity" and it is the same no matter how big or small the clock might be. The actual velocity that the tip of the second hand might trace out as it revolves around the center of the clock will vary with the length of the second hand. The longer the hand, the faster the tip moves around the circumference.
