How many degress does the minute hand move every second.Explain?
It moves 0.1 degrees per second. There are 360 degrees in a full circle - so, every minute that passes, the hand moves six degrees. Thus, every second, the hand moves one tenth of a degree (6 degrees divided by 60).
Is your hand 3 times the length of your thumb?

How far does the tip of the minute hand of a clock move in 35 minutes if the hand is 9 inches long?
Assuming the 9 inches is from the pivot point to the tip of the minute hand: In 1 hour = 60 minutes the tip of the minute hand sweeps out the circumference of a circle with radius 9 inches. In 35 minutes, it sweeps out a fraction on 35 minutes/1 hour of this. The circumference of a circle is given by circumference = 2 × π × radius Therefore the tip of the minute hand moves: length = 35/60 × 2 × π × 9 in → length = 21/2 π in = 10½ π in ≈ 33.0 in
