The question indicates a basic lack of clock mechanism or electronics knowledge. A quartz clock *can* be horridly IN-accurate if the rest of the mechanism of off kilter. Quartz crystals are used to count time due to their consistent frequency of vibration. And it is a safe and inexpensive application of technology. Radioactive atomic clocks are also used, but you don't want one on your wrist or in your house. - side note: most smoke detectors have a tiny radioactive "source" in them

Why do they use quartz in clocks?
Quartz crystals, when properly sized, oscillate (vibrate) at fixed frequencies. These frequencies are not affected by temperature variations, other vibrations, radio waves, etc.A small quartz crystal will oscillate at 32,768 hertz (cycles per second) given a low amount of power (like that of a watch battery).Since the number 32,768 is a power of 2, and can easily be counted by a digital counter, the quartz crystal oscillator is a perfect match for use in a digital watch. Simply put, each time the crystal oscillates, the circuitry in the watch increments a 15-bit binary digital counter. Once the counter resets to 0, one second has passed.
When and who invented a clock?
The clock is one of the oldest human inventions , meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units of the day, lunar month and the yearThe first major advance in clock construction occurred in Europe during the 14th century when the first mechanical clock ever made was created by one Henry de Vick r King Charles V of France Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 1400s, although they are often erroneously credited to Nurnburg watchmaker Peter Heinlin(or Henle, or Hele) around 1511. The earliest existing spring driven clock is the chamber clock given to Peter the Good, Duke of Burgundy, around 1430, now in the German Isches National Museum. The first record of a minute hand on a clock is 1475
How can you calculate if the force is not given show its formula?
If the force is not given, you can calculate it using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m*a). By rearranging the formula to solve for force, you can determine it by multiplying the mass of the object by its acceleration.
Why does the pendulum clock run slower in the summer and faster in the winter?
The time period of a pendulum clock is given by T = 2 π root over l/g , where l is the length of the pendulum . Thus , T is directly proportional to lenght . in summers , T increases as l increases. while in winter , T will decrease as l decreases . Like wise , pendulum clocks go fast in winter and slow in summer
What piece of equipment measures forces?
A force sensor or a dynamometer is typically used to measure forces in various applications. These devices can provide accurate readings of the amount of force being applied in a given direction.
What amethyst is the form of quartz?
Amethyst is a violet form of quartz.
How do you clock in for work?
Usually you are given a card or number both sometimes to clock in and clock out of work you simply slide the card given or punch in the number your are given which is usually your work number authorized so remember it . You will see your log press your position you work and you are set the number of hours or time you clock in will be printed out instantly.
Is quartz igneous?
Theoretically yes, though any given sample of quartz may contain inclusions (non-quartz stuff trapped inside) making it heterogeneous.
What Has 3 Feet But Cant Walk?
The given description fits to that of a clock.
Should of given you a receipt. Corrrect or incorrect. Should of given or should have given?
incorrect. its supposed to be "should have"
Which one of these is a gem quartz silver gold or Emerald?
Emerald is a type of gemstone, while quartz, silver, and gold are not specific gemstones. So, among the options given, Emerald is the gemstone.
What are the four physical properties of quartz?
The principal special property of quartz is that it is piezo-electric. That is if you apply a voltage to two opposing faces, the crystal will change shape; and vice versa. This is the device that in your phone/alarm clock/microwave that goes peep peep peep. Small pieces of quartz are shaped so that they operate (vibrate) at your target frequency, be it for a watch alarm, or a GPS receiver. Other materials may also be used for this purpose, but quartz is easily fabricated. p.s. Your bones are also piezoelectric, and the electrical signals given out by the stresses put on the bone, will aid in shaping the bone to best respond to that stress. Very clever!
What name is given to the old style clocks and watches?
a clocks
What is more accurate a measurement given in centimeters or millimeters?
Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.
Is big ben the tallest clock in the UK?
Strictly speaking, Big Ben is a bell, not a clock, but given that the name is usually associated with the clock, the answer is yes, it is the tallest tower-clock, although there may be others that are higher off the ground!
