A circle with a radius of 78.5 mm will have a circumference of approximately 493.23 mm. 5 hours will be 5/12 of that. 493.23 x 5/12 = 205.5125 mm

It travels once around the clock per hour. (It rotates 360 degrees.)
How many times between midnight and noon do the minute hand and hour hand of a clock form right angles?
22
Which hour hand represents hours?
The hour hand is the shortest hand of all three on a clock.
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.
How many hours does it take for the hour hand to travel as far as the minute hand travel in 40 minutes?
If both started at 12, in forty minutes, the minute hand would reach the 8 mark on the clock. The 8 mark symbolizes 8 hours past 12. So it would take 8 hours for the hour hand to travel as far as the minute hand travels in 40 minutes.
Which hand is the hour hand on a clock?
The short hand is the hour hand on a clock.
How many degrees does the hour hand on an analog clock travel through in 1 hour?
30 degrees

What is the relationship between a degrees in rotation and an hour on the clock?
The hour hand on a standard 12 hour clock rotates one twelth of 360 degrees in one hour. That is 30 degrees.
What Angle do the hour hand and the minute hand make when it is six o' clock?
The full circle of the clock is 360 degrees. The distance between any two figures on the clock is therefore 360 ./. 12 = 30 degrees. When it's 6 o'clock there are six figures between the hour hand and the minute hand, so 6 x 30 = 180 degrees.
Which hand on the clock is the hour hand?
it is the short hand
How many times between midnight and noon do the minute hand and hour hand of a clock form right angles?
22
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.
Which hour hand represents hours?
The hour hand is the shortest hand of all three on a clock.
What angle does a clock make at 630 am?
In a clock with 12 hour readings, at 6:30 am the minute hand would be directly on 6 and the hour hand would be mid way between 6 and 7. Between any two markings on this clock the angle is 360/12 = 30 degrees. Since minute hand is precisely on 6 and hour hand is exactly half way between 6 and 7, the angle between them at 6:30 am is 30/2 = 15 degrees
