Find area covered by minute hand of the clock from900 am to 935 am?
The minute hand is the radius of the circle. Once you know the radius, you can calculate the area (pi r squared). 35 minutes is 7/12 of the area.
What is the minute hand on the clock?
The long hand
Which hand on a clock is the minute hand?
It is the long hand.
Which has more momentum a second hand on a clock or a minute hand on a clock?
the second hand
What is a minute hand on a clock?
The minute hand is the largest hand on most analogue clocks. At 3 o'clock on a 12-hour clock, the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. It measures time to the nearest minute by advancing one of the small minute hash marks every 60 seconds. Every time the second hand makes one full sweep of the clock face, the minute hand advances one of the minute marks. The second hand is the fastest moving hand on a standard analogue clock, making one full sweep every 60 seconds.
If the minute hand is 6 inches long what is a good estimate of the circumference of the clock?
The minute hand will usually be about 1/8 inch from the edge of the clock face. The hand plus 1/8 inch is the radius, so the diameter of the clock face would be 12-1/4 inches (diameter is radius x 2). The formula for finding circumference is Pi x D, where Pi = 3.1416 and the D is the diameter. Using the formula C = Pi x D: C = 3.1416 x 12.25 = 38.4846 inches would be a good estimate of the circumference of the clock face.

the second hand
What is the time period of the minute hand on a clock?
The time period of a nimute hand on the clock is one minute since it takes a minute for it to complete one oscillation, ie., one complete cycle of the clock.
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 1 hour?
The minute hand of a clock turns about 360 degrees each hour.
If the minute hand on a clock is 4.5 centimeters long what distance does the tip travel in one complete rotation?
Minute hand is 4.5 cmTip of the minute hand completes one complete circle with radius 4.5 cmhence the distance traveled by the tip of minute hand is(2 * 22/7 * 4.5 ) ( circumference of the circle 2 pi R )
What is the radius and diameter if the circumference is 45 feet?
divide the circumference (c) by pi (3.14) and then you have diameter. you will have to measure the radius by hand.

Is there another word for clock hands?
Hour hand and minute hand.
Who invented the minute hand and hour hand?
Whoever invented the clock.
