The distance depends on how far the relevant point on the minute hand is from its point of rotation. This is because the motion of the minute hand is angular, not linear.
It takes the minute hand one hour to do this, and it takes the hour hand twelve hours to do it.
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.
6 degrees.
The minute hand moves 360 degrees in 60 minutes so 6 degrees takes 1 minute.
The minute hand on a clock goes round 24 times in a day (once for each hour)
In 60 minutes, the minute hand completely circumnavigates the face of the clock,and returns to where it was 60 minutes earlier. That's a travel of 360 degrees.
360
200 minutes = 31/3 hours, so the tip of the minute hand traverses 31/3 circumferiiduring that time.Circumference = 2 pi R .Total travel = 31/3 x 2 x pi x R = 20/3 x pi x 5.1 = 106.814 inches (rounded)
The time period of a nimute hand on the clock is one minute since it takes a minute for it to complete one oscillation, ie., one complete cycle of the clock.
see you in an hour. Of course it takes more than an hour for the hour hand (the "BIG" hand) and the minute hand (the "LITTLE" hand) to line up but it does happen once each hour. Keep in mind, the hour hand is known as the BIG hand because an hour is bigger than a minute, which is indicated by the LITTLE hand.
The angular velocity of the minute hand can be calculated as 2π radians divided by the time it takes to complete one full revolution, which is 60 minutes. Therefore, the angular velocity of the minute hand is π/30 radians per minute.
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
