What else can I help you with?
Can you write a sentence using the word digital nce using the word digital?
I have a digital clock; I find it easier to read than analog clocks with hands and regularly spaced numbers.
What is an example sentence using the word digital?
digital clocks made it very easy. digital technology is really great.
How can a digital clock run using only water as a power source?
Convert the water flow into electricity. Please, no water in digital clocks that are plugged in.
Where is the best place to buy a used Corvette?
You can buy used corvettes using this website: http://corvettetrader.com/, it is specifically made for buying corvettes. It has a lot of variation and easily customizable search.
Sumerian clocks kept time by using this?
Water.
How does digital clock work?
A digital clock works "electronically" using electricity and digital circuitry. This sets aside the clock that simply has a "digital display" wherein the numbers representing the time are moved by some mechanism, but the clock does not have a "digital" time base. Let's look a bit more closely. The "heart" of any clock is the mechanism that provides a time base. It can be mechanical, like it was with the first clocks (and many current one), or it can be electrical. With some electrical clocks, the time base is delivered by the AC power source. The frequency of the AC power grid is generally stable over a long period, and a sychronous electric motor that "syncs" with a "good" line voltage will maitain its accuracy over a period of years. But the newest clocks are often digital. In a digital clock, a digital circuit provides the time base. Some kind of crystal is specifically cut to vibrate at a fixed rate (and with a high degree of accuracy). The vibration of the crystal is electronically monitored, and is maitained by a small voltage that is fed back to the crystal from associated circuits. What comes out of this oscillator is a time base that can be counted and divided down by other electronic components to deliver a "tick" that the display keeps track of. Some of the newer clocks do all of the electronic "stuff" described, but also have a radio receiver that locks on to a NIST (National Instutute of Science and Technology) time signel. (NIST used to be the National Bureau of Standards, NBS.) NIST broadcasts a "time tick" on a number of different frequencies, and their atomic clocks are among the most accurate in the world. The new "atomic clocks" we can purchase are digital clocks that have receivers that lock on to and sync up with the NIST time signals to maintain accuracy.
Why are some clocks called chiming clocks?
Some clocks are called chiming clocks because they give off a chiming, or striking, sound at various times. A striking, or chiming, clock sounds the hours audibly by using a bell or a gong.
Does the digital clock have an impact on the environment?
Oh, dude, you bet it does! I mean, all those numbers lighting up and changing every second, it's like a mini light show for Mother Earth. But seriously, yeah, digital clocks do use electricity, so they contribute to your carbon footprint. But hey, at least they're not as bad as those old school flip clocks, am I right?
What types of clocks are there?
See the Web Link to the left for information on the various clock types. Scroll down within the page to the section 'Specific Types of Clocks.'Analogue, Atomic clocks, wind up clocks, digital clocks, sundials, solar powered clocks.
How does someone tell time at night?
One way to tell time at night is by using a watch with a light-up display or a digital clock with illuminated numbers. Alternatively, nightstands often have digital alarm clocks or devices with built-in clocks that are visible in the dark. Another option is to have a bedside clock that projects the time onto the ceiling or wall.
When did people stop using water clocks?
Because they always need water
How time is measured today?
Time is measured today primarily using the International System of Units (SI), where the second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. This definition is used in atomic clocks which are the most precise timekeeping devices we have today. Additionally, time is commonly measured using digital and analog clocks, watches, and various electronic devices.
