时钟问题:夹角与重合时间
clock problem
题目详情
1)当时间为 3 点一刻(3:15)时,时针与分针夹角是多少度?
2)3PM 之后,时针与分针第一次完全重合是什么时候?
3)12 点之后,时针与分针第一次再次相遇是什么时候?
英文原题
- How many degrees (if any) are there in the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock when the time is a quarter past three?
- What is the first time after 3PM when the hour and minute hands of a clock are exactly on top of each other?
- When is the first time after 12 o'clock that the hour and minute hands of a clock meet again?
解析
(1) 3:15 时:
- 分针在 15 分处,对应角度 ;
- 时针在 3 点又走了 15 分钟,角度为 。
夹角为 。
(2) 设 3 点后经过 分钟。
- 分针角度:;
- 时针角度:。
重合满足 ,即 ,所以
因此时间为 (约 3:16:21.818)。
(3) 同理,12 点后经过 分钟,时针角度 、分针角度 ,除 外下一次重合满足 ,得到
即 (约 1:05:27.273)。
英文解析
(1) At 3:15:
- The minute hand is at the 15-minute mark, corresponding to an angle of ;
- The hour hand has moved past 3 o'clock by 15 minutes, with an angle of .
The angle between them is .
(2) Let minutes have passed after 3 o'clock.
- Minute hand angle: ;
- Hour hand angle: .
Coincidence satisfies , i.e., , so
Thus, the time is (approximately 3:16:21.818).
(3) Similarly, let minutes have passed after 12 o'clock. The hour hand angle is and the minute hand angle is . Excluding , the next coincidence satisfies , yielding
which is (approximately 1:05:27.273).
