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.


If you reflect the hands of one o clock across a line from 9 to 3 what time will it show?

The minute hand will be on the 6 and the hour hand on the 5. This is is somewhat like 5:30, but at 5:30, the minute hand would still point to the six but the hour hand would be midway between the 5 and 6. There is no time when the hour hand is on the 5 and the minute hand on the 6.


How many times do the hour and the minute hands cross in a 12 hour period of time?

eleven times If you start at 12:05, the minute hand passes the hour hand once between 1:00 and 2:00, once between 2:00 and 3:00, and so on through the 10:00 hour. After 10:54, the next time the minute hand passes the hour hand is 12:00.


If you look at a clock and the time is 3 hours 15 minutes what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands?

It should be 7.5°. The hour hand continues to move, although at a slower pace than the minute hand. From 3:00 to 3:15, the hour hand will move one-fourth of the distance from the "3" to the "4". In an hour, the hour hand moves one-twelfth of a circle. So in 15 minutes, the minute hand will arrive at the "3" and the hour hand will have moved one-fourth of one-twelfth of 360° - which is 7.5° - past the "3".


What time o the clock are the minute and hour hands opposite?

3:40 or 12:30....I THINK

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.

The minute hand revolves around the clock face ONCE every hour. Therefore the hand would revolve around the clock 24 time in one day.


How could you make a analog clock more precise?

add a second minute hand. If you could add a second minute hand to an analog clock, you would be able to increase the precision by allowing the time to be determined to the second.


Can displacement of an object which has moved through a distance be zero if yes suppot your answer?

The answer is yes. An example which will support my contention is that of the tip of the minute-hand on an old-fashioned 'analog' clock. In the course of one hour's time, the tip of the minute hand traverses a distance equal to the circumference of the clock-face, but its displacement over the period of an hour is zero.
