When the hands of the clock are opposite to each other between 4 and 5?

54(6/11)


What time between 2 and 3 o' clock do the minute hand and the hour hand overlap each other?

If the hands start off together at midnight, say, then the minute hand must catch up with the hour hand 11 times before they both end up on top of each other again at noon. Hence between one and two o'clock the time when the hands are in the same place is 60/11 = 5.4545... minutes past the hour, between two and three o'clock 2*60/11 = 10.9090... minutes past the hour and so on. So the time you want is 10.91 minutes past 2 o'clock which, to the nearest second, is 2:10:54.


If There are 3 people at a party If each person must shake hands with every other person at the party exactly once how many handshakes will there be?

3. AB, BC and CA.


There are five people in a room Each person shakes the hand of every other person exactly once How many handshakes are exchanged?

Everyone shakes hands with 4 other people. Since there are 5 people in the room this would suggest there are 5*4 = 20 handshakes. However, you would then be double counting handshakes: A shaking hands with B and B shaking hands with A is, in reality, only one handshake. Thus there are 5*4/2 = 10 handshakes in all.


What is the speed of a sweep-second if the length is 2 cm and the hand is at 6'o clock mark?

It doesn't matter where it is on the clock. If the clock is working properly, the speed of the hand is constant.The hand's angular speed is 360 degrees per minute = 6 degrees per second.For the linear speed, the tip of the second-hand revolves in a circle whose circumference is(2 pi) times (length of the hand) = 4 pi centimeters.It revolves once per minute. So the speed of the tip is (4 pi) cm/minute, or (240 pi) cm/hour.In numbers, the speed at the tip is:12.6 cm/minute2.09 mm/sec7.54 meters/hour0.000469 mile/hour593.7 feet/day12.593 furlongs/fortnight.Notice that this is the speed at the second-hand's tip. Other points on it travel slower.The closer the point is to the center, the slower its speed is. At the center, it spins, butthe linear speed is zero.

There are many moving parts of a clock, apart from the hands. Examples include a mainspring, or a weight suspended from a cord, the wheel train, and an oscillator.


Why is the minute hand on a clock longer than the hour hand?

So you can tell which is which; example if one is on the 1 and the other is on the 2, if the hands were same length it could be 10 past 1, or 5 past 2. And so on ...
