Question

Lines and angle (class 7)
How many degree does the second hand of a clock sweep in a minute?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute. The minute hand rotates through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute.

Answer 2

Answer: By dividing the clock into pieces, we can determine that the angle between the two hands is . Within a clock, just like any circle, there are 360 total degrees. Within an clock, there are 60 total minutes. Each minute that passes, the minute hand advances 6 degrees.
