Which direction will be the resultant direction, if start facing east and make $\frac{1}{2}$ of a revolution clockwise ?

Given :

The given statement is, start facing east and make $\frac{1}{2}$ of a revolution clockwise.

To do :

We have to find, which direction will be the resultant, rotating half of a revolution clockwise from facing east.

Solution :

1 revolution $= 360°$

$\frac{1}{2}$ revolution $= \frac{360}{2} = 180°$

The direction, 180° from the east is West.

Therefore, If we start facing east and make $\frac{1}{2}$ of a revolution in clockwise direction , then we will face the West direction.
