How many degrees does the second hand on a clock travel when it moves through one second?
6 degrees. There are 360 degrees in a full circle, and therefore for every second the hand moves through one sixtieth of a circle.
How do you convert arc second into meter?
An arc second is a measurement of an angle, so you would need to know how far away the object is. From there, there are two ways to proceed: 1. Use a circle with the distance as the radius a. find the degree fraction (degrees/360; there are 3600 arcseconds in 1 degree) b. find the circumference of the circle and multiply by the degree fraction 2. Set up a triangle and use a trigonometric function.
What is an 360 degree angle?
There are 360 degrees in a circle, so if you draw a line and measure 360 degrees round and draw a second line, this second line is on top of the first line.
How many seconds there are in a circle?
The calculation is 60 arc seconds X 60 arc minutes X 360 degrees in a full circle. So, there are 1,296,000 arc seconds in a full circle.
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).
