How many seconds in 100 days?

There are 246,240,000 seconds in 100 days. 100 days * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 246,240,000 seconds.

How long is score?

A score is 20. A score of anything is 20 of anything. A score of days is 20 days. When Lincoln said four score and seven years ago, he was saying 87 years ago. French does not have a word for 80. It says four score.

Why is it important that a pendulum in a clock is heavy?

A heavier pendulum swings with more inertia, which helps regulate the clock's movement and keep time accurately. The weight also increases the pendulum's momentum, making it less affected by external factors like air resistance or friction.

How many seconds in a million seconds?

There are one million seconds in one million seconds.

How long is a zeptosecond?

A zeptosecond is a unit of time equal to one sextillionth of a second, or 10^-21 seconds. It is one of the shortest measurable time units known to exist.

Why is your gps clock 3 minutes slow compared to correct time?

GPS clocks are typically very accurate, relying on signals from satellites to maintain precision. If your GPS clock is consistently showing a time that is 3 minutes slow, it may be due to a delay in receiving the satellite signal or a problem with your device's internal clock synchronization. Resetting the clock or ensuring a clear view of the sky for better signal reception can help correct this issue.

What is time zones and how do you find out what Florida time zone is is?

Time zones are geographical regions that have the same standard time. Florida is in the Eastern Time Zone. You can find out the specific time in Florida by checking the current time in a city like Miami or Tampa.

How many hours in 1 second?

One second is equivalent to 1/3600th of an hour.

What is 21 hundred hours in military time?

21:00 is 9 pm. This is because military time runs on a 24-hour clock instead of 12. 1 am is considered the first hour (1:00), 2 am is the second hour (2:00) and so on up to 24 hours. It is often used in the practice of medicine to avoid ambiguity about when events occurred in a patient's history.

What would be the effect on product formation if the enzyme were heated to a temperature of 100 degrees celsius for 10 minutes before repeating the experiment?

Heating the enzyme to 100 degrees Celsius may denature it, causing the enzyme to lose its active conformation and hence lose its ability to catalyze the reaction effectively. This would likely result in a decrease in product formation or no product formation at all in the subsequent experiment.

How many hours are in 4575 seconds?

There are 1,275 hours in 4575 seconds. This can be calculated by dividing the number of seconds by the number of seconds in an hour (3600).

How is time measured in the metric system?

Time is measured in exactly the same way regardless of whether the measurer uses metric, standard, or imperial measures.

The base unit of time is the second. All the normal SI prefixes apply, but are generally only used for intervals shorter than a second.

If a girl went back in time and killed her grandmother wouldn't she have killed herself because her mother wasn't born?

This is a variation on the "Grandfather Paradox."

If you went back in time and killed one of your grandparents before your parent was born, it is theorized that you would never be born, then you would not be able to go back in time to kill your grandparent, so your parent would be born, and you would be born, then you would go back in time to kill your grandparent before your parent was born.

See? it loops. Paradoxes are anathema to nature and physics. Or are they. Quantum physics presents a different argument, the Multiverse. In a multiverse, for every possible action, a new branch or new universe is formed (this is a simplistic explanation). With the formation of each new branch, other new branches can be formed, and it continues outward from the big bang. There are an infinite number of universes then, so if you went back in time and killed grandma or grandpa before mom or dad were born, you would not be born in that universe, but you would not snap out of existence.

The Grandfather Paradox breaks down in another area too:

If you went back in time and killed one of your grandparents before your parent was born, it is theorized that you would never be born, then you would not be able to go back in time to kill your grandparent, so your parent would be born, and you would be born, then you would go back in time to kill your grandparent before your parent was born.

Would you? Would you be born? Would you continue with the same act that originally caused you not to be born? This presumes that the universe is set to rote time and cannot change no matter what happens, that every action is scripted. Fundamental Christianity's philosophy of Free Will doesn't even agree with this. There are way too many variables in play to be able to state categorically that this paradox is possible in more than a purely existential discussion.

What time does the Japanese stock market open?

The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) in Japan opens at 9:00 a.m. local time and closes at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Why was pendulum used in clocks in olden days?

Any mechanical clock or watch (by mechanical I mean non-electric motor driven) uses a pendulum.

A pendulum is a great invention; it uses the amount of time that it takes to swing (the period of the swing) to release a single step on a gear (called an escapement gear). No matter how much tension is on the escapement, the pendulum will not swing faster.

The time can also be adjusted by shortening or lengthening the distance from the escapement to the pendulum weight.

A very cool demonstration is at http://www.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/clocks-watches/clock.htm

How long is 4 score?

"Four score" is a term used to denote 80 years. It was famously used in the Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln, where he stated, "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation."

What are nanoseconds?

Nanoseconds are a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second. They are used to measure extremely short durations such as the time it takes for electronic circuits to switch or for light to travel a very short distance.

What is the weather like all the time in Beijing China?

Beijing experiences four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cold and dry with occasional snowfall. Spring and autumn are pleasant with mild temperatures. It is important to note that Beijing can also experience air pollution, particularly in winter.

What line separates one day from the next?

The line that separates one day from the next is the International Date Line, which is an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole and serves as the starting point for each new calendar day. It defines the boundary between calendar dates as one moves east or west across it.

When fifty gallons of hydraulic oil weigh 372 lb what is its specific weight in units of lb per ft3?

Specific weight is the weight per unit volume. To calculate specific weight in lb/ft^3, divide the total weight by the volume. First, convert 50 gallons to ft^3 (1 gallon = 0.133681 ft^3) = 6.68405 ft^3. Specific weight = 372 lb / 6.68405 ft^3 ≈ 55.61 lb/ft^3.

What is a score in four score?

A score is 20 years. Four score is 80 years. Thank Abe Lincoln for bringing this wonderful term to us in a way that it keeps "hanging on" through generations that might have forgotten other old units of measure.

How many Hz in one MHz?

There are 1 million hertz (Hz) in one megahertz (MHz).
