A pendulum oscillates 60 times in 6 seconds.Find its time period and frequency?
Frequency=60/6=10Hz
Time Period=1/f=1/10
1500 hours = 1500 hours.
:D
1500 hours = 90,000 minutes, 5,400,000 seconds or 62 days 12 hours

Chronemics dictate globally what is the exact time of the world down to the last millisecond.
How many hours and minutes in eight days?
The question you ask is a little ambiguous, as I will explain.
There are 24 hours in a single day. In 8 days, there are 8 lots of 24 hours. We can represent this using a multiplication :
Hours in 8 days = 8 x 24
We can carry out this multiplication most easily by splitting 24 into two parts :
24 = 20 + 4
So we then get :
Hours in 8 days = 8 x 20 added to 8 x 4
So we get 160 added to 32 which comes to 192 hours.
So there are 192 hours in 8 days.
The reason why I said your question was ambiguous is that there were no left over minutes - there are exactly 192 hours in 8 days.
If you also wanted to know how many minutes there are in 8 days, then we should use another multiplication :
Minutes in 8 days = minutes in 192 hours = 192 x 60 (60 minutes each hour)
This is a more complex multiplication :
There are 11,520 minutes in 8 days.

How long is a couple of hours?
"Couple" is a wishy-washy word that a lot of people use when they don't want to pin it
down to a definite number, so you have to be careful how you take it when you hear it.
Technically, "couple" really means "two", but if it came from a conversation, then that
interpretation might not stand up in court.
492.4 what ?
492.4 minutes = 6 hours, 12 minutes, 24 seconds
492.4 seconds = 6 minutes 12.4 seconds.
9 hours 11 minutes minus 3 hours 49 minutes equals what?
The result of the subtraction is 5 hours, 22 minutes.
9 hours 11 minutes = 8 hours and 71 minutes (60 minutes per hour)
So 8 hours 71 minutes
- 3 hours 49 minutes =
5 hours 22 minutes
Months have different numbers of days. If we assume sort-of-average months of 30 days, you have to multiply all of the following numbers:
- 30 (days per month)
- 24 (hours per day)
- 60 (minutes per hour)
Months have different numbers of days. If we assume sort-of-average months of 30 days, you have to multiply all of the following numbers: - 2 (the number of months)
- 30 (days per month)
- 24 (hours per day)
- 60 (minutes per hour)

What happen to the stars from 7 pm to 11 pm?
Whether we are in daylight or darkness, the stars are still there in the sky. It is just that in daylight, we can't see them due to the glaring sunlight. At night, 7 pm to 11 pm plus, in darkness on a cloudless night sky, we can see the stars brilliantly.
Does time pass slowly in antarctica?
