In one hour the hour hand completes 360/12 degree i.e. 30o.

1 hour is equal to 60 minutes so in 1 minute angle completed by hour hand is 30o/60 i.e 0.5o, so angle completed in 30 minutes is 0.5o x 30 = 15o.

1 minute is equal to 60 seconds so angle completed by hour hand in 1 sec is equal to 0.5o/60 so angle completed in 15 seconds is 0.5o x 15/60 = 0.125o.

So, the total angle turned by our hand = 15o + 0.125o = 15.125o.

What is the angle of the hands of a clock at 7.35?

Angle between the hands of a clock=|11M-60H|/2i.e. M-Minutes=35(here)H- Hours=7(here)∴ The angle b/w hands of a clock=|11*35-60*7|/2=17.5°


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 angle described by minute hand in 60 minute?

In 60 minutes, the minute hand completely circumnavigates the face of the clock,and returns to where it was 60 minutes earlier. That's a travel of 360 degrees.

What is the 24second shot clock?

A clock that is timed for 24 seconds. When a team has the ball they have 24 seconds to make a basket. If the 24 seconds expires it's a "shot-clock violation" and the other team gets the ball. Also if someone attempts to shoot but hits the rim, but dose not go in the shot-clock will reset back to 24. If the game clock is below 24 seconds the shot-clock will be turned off.
