Is work being done when water freezes into ice?
The definition is that work is done when a force moves through a distance. Heat has to be removed from water to make it freeze (even if it starts as water at 0 degrees and ends as ice at 0 degrees) but no actual work is done in the process. However, because the water expands when it turns into ice some of it moves slightly. Therefore a small amount of work is, in fact, done.
Do rainbows appear in the same place on different days?
If you are in the same place, the rainbow will always appear in the same place because it all has to do with the angle you are at in relation to the sun (42 degrees - see the related link). So if you are always in the same spot (e.g. at your desk at work), the sun will be coming from the same same angle, creating the rainbow in the same spot. My understanding of what I've read, you'll only see a rainbow in a certain place in the sky from the same spot at a certain time of the year because the sun moves depending on the season. Also, it is not only the angle of the sun but also the height of it that has to be the same.
What type of front moves the fastest?
A cold front moves the fastest, and a stationary front moves the slowest. A cold front moves about 20 mph, while a stationary front moves very little.
On earth the sun appears in the north or west or south or east.?
if you're on the north pole then the answer is the same sometimes the sun appears, in the morning, out of the northeast or southeast depending on the time of year, and can appear across the latitudes as one moves from south north and vice versa.
What happens to the rainfall in Texas as it moves from east to west?
Rainfall increases as it moves west in Texas.
How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 370 degrees in 24 hours?
Any number you like. Since the predicate statement: "the sun appears to move 370 degrees in 24 hours" is FALSE, then the "conclusion" can be any statement you like. The sun appears to move 360 degrees in 24 hours and so 360/24 = 15 deg each hour.
How long does it take the hour hand to move 90 degrees?
It moves 360 degrees every 12 hours, so for 90 degrees that is 3 hours
How long does it take the hour hand to move to 6 degrees?
The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours so 6 degrees takes 0.2 hours = 12 minutes.
How many degrees does the little hand move in 3 hours?

180 degrees longitude?
180 degree longitude or 0 degree longitude means the same thing. Now when someone crosses this line one has to make some changes in the time e.g when one crosses this line and moves towards east it will gain one day, if one crosses and moves towards the west then one losses one day
Why do the stars appear to move 360 degrees in 24hours?
A star appears to move 360 degrees because of the Earth's rotation. It's not the star that moves. It's the Earth.
How many minutes are in one degree longitude or latitude?
60 minutes in each degree. The International Date Line is at around +180° longitude. If we start moving to the West from +180° longitude after 6 hours we will reach at +90° longitude position and after 24 hours we will reach at -180° longitude which is nothing but our starting position. In this time (24X60=1440 minutes) our Planet moves 360° in total. Now it is clear to realize that 1° equivalent to 4 minutes.
What longitude and latitude is Antarctic circle?
The Antarctic Circle is a line of latitude -- which moves, according to the Earth's wobble. As of 10 March 2016, it runs 66°33′46.1″ as a line of latitude and crosses all degrees of E and W longitude on Earth.
How many degrees does the hour hand move in one half of an hour?

The hour hand on a clock moves one half of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hand move in one hour?
the hour hand moves 30 degrees in every hour, the minute hand moves 6 degrees each minute Clocks hand moves 1/60 of a degree every minute1 hour = 60 minutes60 * 1/60 = 1The clocks hand move 1 degree an hour
Angle measuring more than 180?
An angle is an amount of turning. Some polygons have internal angles over 180 (when the external angle is less than 180). You can think of the hands of a clock. If the longer hand moves 180 degrees in 30 minutes, it moves 270 degrees in 45 minutes or 720 degrees in two hours, etc.
