Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 630 what is the anglein nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
The hour hand would be at 195 degrees and the minute hand at 180 degrees.
What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock at half past two?
If we simply imagine the minute hand is on the 6, and the hour hand is on the two, there will be a total of 120 degrees between the minute and the hour hand, 1/3 of the clock is covered between the two hands. However, it is not that simple. Because 30 minutes has travelled, the hour hand will be half way between the 2 and the 3. We know that every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees (360 / 12 hours = 30). Therefore, in 30 minutes, it will have travelled 15 degrees. Which means the hour hand is 15 degrees closer to the minute hand. Therefore, the actual angle between the minute and hour hand is actually 105 degrees.
What is the angle between the two hands of a clock when the time is 3 hours 40 minutes 20 seconds?
This problem can be solved as follows: The angle Ah of the hour hand of a clock, measured from the position at noon or midnight when the hour and minute hands exactly coincide, is Ah = (360 degrees/12 hours)th, where th is the time in hours, including fractions of hours, because the hour hand moves the entire 360 degrees around the clock in 12 hours. Similarly, the angle Am of the minute hand = (360 degrees/60 minutes)tm, where tm is the time in minutes only, including fractions of minutes. The stated time is 3 + 40/60 + 20/3600 hours = 3.672222... hours and the angle is therefore about 110. 11666666... degrees, using the formula above. The time in minutes only is 40 + 20/60 = 40.33333...., so that the angle of the minute hand is 242 degrees. The difference between them is therefore about 131.833..... degrees, or in fraction form 131 and 5/6.
How many degrees is a 4 o'clock hand?
the hour hand is turned 4/12th of a whole circle, which is 360 degrees, so 4/12 * 360 deg = 120 degrees is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 4 o' clock
How many degrees does the minute hand of a clock turn in 10 minutes?
There are 360 degrees on the clock face that the minute hand travels in one hour which is 6 x 10 minutes. So the degrees turned by the minute hand in 10 minutes is 360/6 = 60
How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock move in 5 hours?
150 degrees
How many degrees does the hour hand of the clock turn in 12 hours?
One revolution of the hour hand in 12 hours is 360 degrees. The same number of degrees in a circle.
How far do the hour hand move an hour?
The clock is divided into 12 hours. The hour hand moves 1/12th every hour. If the clock is likened to a circle of 360 degrees, each hour would represent 360 / 12 = 30 degrees.
If the hour hand on a clock moves one half of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hand move in an hour?
61
How many degrees does the little hand move in 3 hours?

How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock turn through 120 minutes?
720. in 60 minutes, the hour hand on a clock turns a complete circle, or 360 degrees. since 120 minutes is 2 hours, the hour hand would make 2 complete turns, which is 360 degrees twice, which is 720 degrees.
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.
Looking at a standard wall clock at the time 6 30 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?
The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand on a standard clock at 6:30 is 15 degrees. Let's review the movement of the hands of the clock specific to this problem. The hour hand moves through the 12 hours of half a day in 12 hours (naturally), and that translates into the hour hand moving 360 degrees in 12 hours. That means the hour hand moves 360/12, or 30 degrees per hour. That translates into 15 degrees in half an hour. If the hour hand is pointing straight down at 6:00 (which it is), it will move 15 degrees from where it was in half and hour. And the time will be 6:30 with the minute hand pointing straight down. The minute hand will be pointing to where the hour hand was half an hour ago. And, as stated, the hour hand will have moved from dead on the six and gone 15 degrees further around.
How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock turn from noon to 4 o clock?
12 hours = 360 degrees 4 hours = 12/3 = 360/3 degrees = 120 assuming 4pm is meant
How many degrees does a hand clock move in an hour?
Hour hand moves 30 degrees, minute hand moves 360 degrees.
How many degrees does the hour minute and second hand turn through on a clock in 24 hours?
720, 8,640 and 518,400 degrees respectively.
The hour hand on a clock move 160 of a degree every minute how many degrees will it move in a hour?
On a normal 12-hour clock, the hour hand moves 360° in 12 hours, 360° in 720 minutes, or ½° every minute, not 1/60°. In one hour, 60 minutes, a normal 12-hour clock's hour hand will move 30°.
