How many degrees does the hour hand of a clock travel between 12:06 am, and 5:02 am the next day.
(Let's goo!! Cphil is composing!!)
+129847 The hour hand moves (1/2)° every minute = 30 degrees every hour
Taking staight up 12 as 0°
At 6 minuttes afier 12 the hour hand is at 6 (1/2) = 3°
At 2 minutes after 5 the hour hand is at 5*30 + 2(1/2) = 151°
So....from 12:06 AM to 5:02 AM the same day it ,moves 151 - 3 = 148°
And it will move 24 * 60 * (1/2) = 720° more from 5:02 AM one day to 5:02 the next day
So
148 + 720 =
868°
