How many times in a day hour hand and minute hand makes 180 degree?

How many revolutions per minute are the wheels of a bicycle turning if the diameter is 26 inches and you are traveling at a speed of 35 miles per hour?

Bicycle wheels with a diameter of 26 inches, travelling 35 miles per hour, are turning 452 revolutions per minute. 35 miles per hour is 36,960 inches per minute (25 *5280 * 12 / 60) 26 inches diameter is 81.7 inches circumference, so the revolutions per minute is 36,960 / 81.7 or 452 revolutions per minute.


If the little hand is on the 1 and the big hand is on the 6 what time is it?

1:30 Wrong. The "LITTLE" hand indicates the minute of the hour and the"BIG" hand indicates the hour of the day (or at least half day - AM/PM). The minute hand is the LITTLE hand because it represents the smaller unit of time when compared to an hour which is indicated by the BIG hand. Granted, the longer hand is longer than the shorter hand but it is was historically always thinner than the hour hand. Thinner = LITTLE And the hour hand was always shorter but fatter than the minute hand. Fatter = BIG The reason they were originally called "BIG" and "LITTLE" was based on the amount of time each represents. Hour is 60 times bigger than minute. Hour is BIG and minute is LITTLE. Hour hand is BIG HAND and minute hand is LITTLE HAND. End of story

How many revolutions per hour does the minute hand move on big ben clock?

The minute hand of any analog clock moves 1 revolution per hour. (60 minutes to an hour) The second hand makes 60 revolutions an hour. (Each tick represents one second, one revolution per minute, equals 60 revolutions an hour.)


The short hand and long hand clock are 4cmand6cm long respectively find the distance traveled by their tips in two days?

Every day, the hour hand makes 2 complete revolutions and the minute hand makes 24 revolutions (one per hour). So we have 4 complete revolutions on the hour hand and 48 on the minute hand. First, let us find out the distance per revolution these make. If you noticed on a clock, these would be considered radii, the minute hand makes: C = 2πr ==> C = 2π(4) ==> C = 8π ==> C ≈ 25.133 cm/revolution and the hour hand makes: C = 2πr ==> C = 2π(6) ==> C = 12π ==> C ≈ 37.699 cm/revolution So the sums are: 48(8π cm) + 4(12π cm) = 384π cm + 48π cm = 432π cm ≈ 1,357.168 cm Therefore, the sum of the distances traveled is about 1,357 cm.


Why does a second hand of a clock have a slower velocity?

No the 'second hand' of a clock has a higher velocity, it makes one rotation each minute, while the minute hand makes on rotation each hour and the hour hand makes one rotation every 12 hours.

What did the hour hand say to the minute hand?

see you in an hour. Of course it takes more than an hour for the hour hand (the "BIG" hand) and the minute hand (the "LITTLE" hand) to line up but it does happen once each hour. Keep in mind, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute, which is indicated by the LITTLE hand.

How many rounds does the short hand and the long hand of a clock complete in one day?

Short Hand- hour hand makes 2 rounds. Long hand - minute hand makes 24 rounds


What is the big hand on the clock called?

The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.


How many circles does a minute hand make in a day?

The Minute hand makes a full circle of the clock's dial every Hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day, then the Minute hand travels 24 full circles every day.


Which hand on a clock is the hour hand?

The short one Yes, the hour hand is traditionally shorter than the minute hand. However, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. That means the minute hand is known as the LITTLE hand since a minute is LITTLE when compared to an hour. This is the historical explanation of the labels for the two hands, based on function an expressed in form by the hour hand having a broader, albeit shorter, design than the minute hand which is longer but narrower. Hour = bigger than minute = the BIG hand Minute = smaller than hour = the LITTLE hand


How many degrees is made by the hour hand of the clock as the minute hand completes a revolution?

Say you start at 12 o'clock. If the minute hand goes around the clock once in a complete circle, it turns to 1 o'clock. thus, the hour hand makes it a 30 degree angle.
