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).
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.

What is the relationship between a circle and an angle?
An angle is the measurement of two lines drawn from the centre of a circle. A circle is 380 degrees. So in an angle of 90 degrees, one line would be vertical at 0 degrees, and the second line would be horizontal at 90 degrees. So the relationship is that you can't have one without the other.
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.
Is it possible for an arc with a central angle of 30 degrees in one circle to have a greater arc length than an arc with a central angle of 150 degrees in another circle?
It is certainly possible. All you need is a the second circle to have a radius which is less than 20% of the radius of the first.
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).
What fraction of a second is 1 picosecond?
What fraction of a second is 1 picosecond?
What is the algorithm for dividing a fraction by a fraction?
Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. That is, flip the second fraction over and then multiply the two.
How do you know that the sum of an angle in a circle is 360?
It's actually 2(pi), you technically need to say 360 degrees. I believe we defined it to be that, but you can prove that it's 360 degrees: Draw a diameter. Draw a second diameter perpendicular to the first. You now have four right angles. Right angles measure 90 degrees. 90 * 4 = 360 Hence, there are 360 degrees in the circle.
How many hours is AM till PM?
It could be as little as just over zero (from a fraction of a second before noon to a fraction of a second after) to as much as 12 hours (from a fraction of a second after midnight to a fraction of a second after noon).
How do you divide a fraction into a fraction?
"Dividing Fractions is easy as pie, flip the second and multiply." Flip the second fraction, and multiply, and reduce.
