When we throw a body up , it is pulled by gravity and its speed decreases and when we throw a body down it`s speed increases... So why this does not happen in wall clock.. When the needle goes up from 6 to 12, it`s speed should decrease and when needle comes down from 6 to 12, it`s speed should increase ... Then how does the clock tells us the correct Time?

clock motor rotates with constant angular velocity and it doesnot get affected by gravitational pull ..
and it only rotates with the rotation of its motor not by gravitational force ..
hope this will help ..
