What is the smallest unit of second?
I'm not quite sure what the question means, exactly.
If it's about the shortest fraction of a second that has a name, the answer is a "yoctosecond".
That's 10-24 seconds.
What does 250 minutes equal in hours?
There's 60 minutes in an hour.
Divide 250 by 60 and you get 4.1667 (repeating).
You multiply the remainder by 60 and get 10 [minutes].
So the answer is 4 hours and 10 minutes.
I thnk you mean a clock spring. It is located underneath the airbag in the steering column. It has to do with the air bag and such.
How many minutes are in 11 years?
Well, assuming that we are not factoring in leap years, there are 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day, so 60 x 24 is equal to 1440 minutes, and 1440 x 356 is 512,640 minutes in a year, and 512,640 x 11 is 5,639,040, so there are 5,639,040 minutes in 11 years.
(7 days ) x ( 24 hrs ) x ( 60 mins/hr. ) = 10080 mins. per week.
What is the origin of the 60 minute hour?
A minute is a time measurement unit equal to 1/60 of an hour or 60 seconds. It most probably derives its value from the Mesopotamian/ Babylonian civilization where they used a sexagecimal counting system.
If 1920 - 1929 is call the 20's what is 1910 -1919 called?
Well if the 2000-10 was called the twennies it got to be called the 9010's
What does the Bible tell us about the end of time?
Mark chapter 13 provides the clearest description of the end of time and the Second Coming. Jesus told his listeners that they would see the great buildings of Jerusalem destroyed, and the abomination of desolation. His listeners would see the sun and moon cease to shine and the stars fall to earth. This would be followed by the Son of man coming in clouds of glory. Jesus said that this would take place during their own generation.
Mark 9:1 foreshadows the fuller account in chapter 13, saying that some of those who stand here will not taste death until they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. While the destruction of Jerusalem's great buildings and abomination of desolation certainly occurred, as did the civil war that saw family members slaughter each other, the world did not end, but at the time of writing (about 70 CE) it certainly seemed as if the end was nigh.
Others believe the Book of Revelation contains prophecies of the end of the world and the return of Jesus, even though some of the early Church leaders thought that book unworthy of inclusion in the New Testament. Origen disputed the book's value, and, in the fourth century, Eusebius only agreed to its inclusion "if thought proper."
When are the two hands of a 12-hour clock in the same straight line except at 12 o'clock?
There are 21 clock times other than 12 o'clock when the hands "line up" in a straight line. In 10 of these, the hands are overlapping, and in the other 11, they are directly opposite each other on the clock face.
Hands together
For each 24-hour period, the hands on a clock face are in the same place 22 times, twice at the times designated "noon" and "midnight". The other 20 times are between the hours, when the hour hand has moved part of the way between the hours before being overtaken by the minute hand, The times are between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and so forth, and finally between 10 and 11. There are none between 12 and 1, or 11 and 12.
The 10 clock times in minutes and seconds are defined by the formula M = H * (60/11) or the formula S = H * (3600/11). These can be defined as decimals or whole minutes and seconds where H is between 1 and 10.
Clock times (ten besides 12 o'clock) :
1:05:27 (1:05.4545 minutes, rounded down)
2:10:54 (2:10.9090 minutes, rounded down from 54.54 seconds)
3:16:21 (3:16.3636 minutes, rounded down from 21.82 seconds)
4:21:49 (4:21.8181 minutes, rounded down from 49.09 seconds)
5:27:16 (5:27.2727 minutes, rounded down from 16.36 seconds)
6:32:43 (6:32.7272 minutes, rounded down from 43.63 seconds)
7:38:10 (7:38.1818 minutes, rounded down from 10.91 seconds)
8:43:38 (8:43.6363 minutes, rounded down from 38.18 seconds)
9:49:05 (9:49.0909 minutes, rounded down from 5.45 seconds)
10:54:32 (10:54.5454 minutes, rounded down from 32.72 seconds)
Hands Opposite
The opposite times are when the hands are offset by 6 hours from the above.
Clock times (ten plus 6 o'clock exactly) :
12:32:43
1:38:10
2:43:38
3:49:05
4:54:32
6:00:00
7:05:27

Why 60 seconds for one minute?
60 was a very useful number back when mathematical skills were limited. It was used in seconds and minutes, degrees in a circle, inches in a foot was an easy fraction of 60, old British currency was based on 12. It could be easily divided into halves, thirds, quarters and twelves without "messy" fractions. Each collection of 60 objects could be divided into whole groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30.
The system started with the Sumerian number system which was passed on to the Babylonians. .
Time based on the 24 hour day. Instead of AM and PM, time is stated as 0800 for 8 AM, 1300 for 1 PM, 1900 for 7 PM, etc., and 2359 for 1 minute before midnight.
If the clock says it is 3:00 pm in our time, in military time it would be 1500 hours, spoken "fifteen hundred hours."
9:00 AM = 0900 hours
1:00 PM = 1300 hours
9:00 PM = 2100 hours
***An easy way to remember: IF IT'S PM, JUST ADD 12.
If bacteria reproduce every 15 minutes how many do you have after 24 hours?
In hour there are 60 minutes, you divide it by 15 minutes you'll have 4. So there are 4 bacterias in 1 hour. You'll multiply 4 by 24 hours and you'll have 92. Therefore there are 92 bacteriasreproduced in 24 hours.
How many hours are in 1350 mintues?
We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour. That is 1 minute = 1/60 hour. For 1350 minutes, 1350*(1/60) hours = 1350/60 hours = 22.5 hours.
= 22 1/2 hours (Or) 22 hours and 30 minutes.
There are 60 minutes in a hour how many minutes in 10 hours?
One hour = 60 minutes;
Two hours = 2*60 =120 minutes;
Three hours = 3*60 = 180 minutes; ...
How many hours are in 111 minutes?
1.85 hours are in 111 minutes (1 hr 51 min).
111 min ÷ 60 min = 1.85 hrs.
1.85 x 60 = 1 hr 51 minutes.
An "analog" clock is a clock that has an hour hand and a minute hand. Twenty years ago, virtually all clocks were analog clocks but nowadays electronics has made it easier to display time with digits ("digital" clocks) than with hands ("analog" clocks). In an analog clock the hands of an electric clock are driven by a synchronous electric motor supplied with alternating current of a stable frequency. Digital clocks use LCDs (liquid crystal displays) or LEDs (light emitting diodes) to form the numbers indicating the time. Analog clocks usually indicate time using angles. The most common http://www.answers.com/topic/hour-hand uses a fixed numbered dial or dials and moving hand or hands. It usually has a circular scale of 12 http://www.answers.com/topic/hour, which can also serve as a scale of 60 http://www.answers.com/topic/minute-1, and often also as a scale of 60 http://www.answers.com/topic/second-though many other styles and designs have been used throughout the years, including dials divided into 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours.
