Not necessarily. A watch with an ETA movement just means (at least nowadays) that it's made by a company within the Swatch Group and has no bearing on what kind of movement it is. You'd have to look up your particular watch to see if it's a quartz or mechanical/automatic movement. Generally speaking, the latter will tend to have sweeping seconds because having sweeping seconds on a quartz movement will drain the battery quite fast, whereas the majority of mechanical/automatic movements (except the dead-beat seconds movements) rely on an escapement method which uses a balance wheel which ticks a certain amount of times every second.
Sometimes, it is called a sweep hand, but the hands on a clock usually are called hour, minute, and second.
If the second hand began at 12, 1200 seconds would pass in this period, or 20 minutes.
Second hand . . . 360 degrees per minuteMinute hand . . . 360 degrees per hourHour hand . . . 360 degrees per 12 hours = 30 degrees per hour
The second hand will have moved 12° in 5 seconds, the minute hand 1° in 5 seconds, and the hour hand would move almost 0.0167 (0.016 and the six is recurring).
What do you mean with "motion of the entire second hand"? Please bear in mind that different parts of the hand move at different speeds. The closest thing to a "motion of the entire second hand" might be the motion of its center of mass. In this case, the answer is clearly "no". The center of mass is closer to the center than the tip, and moves slower.
Yes.
No. The third (or second) hand does not tick. It is a floating movement hand and should not have a distinguishable stop between seconds.
