That depends on the period of the clock's pendulum. If we assume it's one second, then it does 1800 cycles in half an hour.

If the hour hand on a clock moves 1 60th of a degree per minute how many times does it move in an hour?
3600 times.
What is the angle between the 2 hands of a clock when the time is 6 o clock?
180 degrees. The hands are a straight line. Or, to be technical, you divide the clock face (360 degrees) by the number of minutes there are in half a day (clocks only record half a day: AM or PM), which is 360/12*60, so each minute is half a degree. There are 360 minutes between the twelve and the six on a clock. Half of 360 is 180. This only works for times ON THE HOUR, otherwise, the hour hand moves for every minute of time passing.
If in a clock pendulum strikes once at 1'O clock and twice at 2'O clock and so on then how many times the pendulum strikes in one day?
The answer is equal to the sum of these numbers (not counting the midnight of the next day):12 (midnight) +1+2+3...+11+12 (noon) + 1... +10 + 11The sum of all the numbers 1 through 12 is 78. Since there are two 1-12 cycles in a day (midnight to 11 AM, then noon to 11 PM), the answer is 156 strikes in one day.
What two times on a digital clock read the same forward as they do backwards and are 2 minutes apart?
9:59, 10:01
How many times does the second hand go around the clock a day?
Once per Minute -or- 60 times per hour 60x24 1440 Times a day (Also how many minutes that are in a day)
How many times does a pendulum of a clock strike in an hour?
It really depends on the clock. In general, a longer pendulum takes longer to go back and forth.
What types of clocks were used in ancient times?
Hi i am in grade 6 and i am cute and kissible the times are water clock sindial pendulum clock clepsydra mechanical clocks
A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on earth is taken to moonit will run at 6 times faster?
No. It will run 2.45 times as SLOW.
Does the string that supports a pendulum bob do work on the bob as it swings to and fro?
No. Work is force times displacement. Even though the pendulum moves, it has zero displacement in the direction of the force imparted by the string.
If the hour hand on a clock moves 1 60th of a degree per minute how many times does it move in an hour?
3600 times.
How many times does the minute hand move around the clock face in one day?
If we define a day as 24 hours, the minute hand moves around the clock face once an hour. 24 times.

What are the uses of simple pendulum?
Actually the simple pendulum isn't used much any more. But in earlier times the periodicity of the pendulum was used to drive the gears of mechanical clock; like the old grandfather clock that stood in the home of the rich back in the 1800s. Because the period of a pendulum was fairly stable and constant, it made an excellent source of energy for clockworks. But now clocks are driven by much more precise means, like crystals and atomic disintegration. And this is true in general; pendulums have been replaced by more precise means of providing periodic energy.
If there 1440 minutes in 24 hours does that mean the minutes on a clock has to go round 1440 times for 24 hours to pass?
No - the minute hand rotates 24 times in 24 hours !

How many times does a pendulum swing?
60 sec
How would the time period of a simple pendulum clock be affected if it were on the moon instead of the earth?
The time period of a pendulum would increases it the pendulum were on the moon instead of the earth. The period of a simple pendulum is equal to 2*pi*√(L/g), where g is acceleration due to gravity. As gravity decreases, g decreases. Since the value of g would be smaller on the moon, the period of the pendulum would increase. The value of g on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, whereas the value of g on the moon is 1.624 m/s2. This makes the period of a pendulum on the moon about 2.47 times longer than the period would be on Earth.
