What is the big hand on the clock called?
The long hand is called the minute hand, the shorter fat one is called the hour hand. Based on historical design the BIG hand is the hour hand because an hour is bigger than a minute. Function first, then form. Traditionally clocks had fatter hands for hour and thinner hands for minute, thus BIG is hour and LITTLE is minute. Yes the minute hand is usually longer than the hour hand but on most clocks the hour hand is larger not just shorter. Don't confuse long, big, little, and short.

Is the little hand on a clock the hour hand or minute hand?
The LITTLE hand is the minute hand. Little does not mean short, it means thin. The longer hand is the LITTLE hand. The BIG hand is the hour hand. Big does not mean long, it means fat, wider. The BIG hand is the hour hand because it denotes the larger unit of time measure. An hour is 60 times larger than a minute. So then, the LITTLE hand denotes the smaller unit of time, a minute. Somewhere along the way some not-too-bright primary school teacher didn't get it right and passed it along incorrectly and lots of people since then have totally missed the connection between BIG=HOUR and LITTLE=MINUTE.

Which minute hand has the larger linear velocity Big Ben or a pocketwatch?
The linear velocity of a minute hand depends on its length and the speed at which it rotates. Big Ben’s minute hand is significantly longer than that of a typical pocket watch. Therefore, even though both complete a full rotation in the same amount of time (60 minutes), Big Ben's longer minute hand has a larger linear velocity due to its greater radius.
