What does the R A stand for in your Westminster chime movement with R A pendulum?
French equivalent of Retard and Advance, indicating which direction to turn the pendulum regulating nut to sped up or slow down a clock. An old book written in English claimed R & A was just the initials of an inventor(s) who was developing an improved pendulum. I've never seen anything that would validate to disclaim either.
The length of an Earth's solar day in seconds is: ~86,164.1 seconds*
*The answer is accurate if one solar day is taken to be: 23h 56m 4.1s
23h * 60 = 1,380m > 1,380m * 60 = 82,800s
56m * 60 = 3,360s
4.1s = 4.1s
Therefore: 82,800s + 3,360s + 4.1s = 86,164.1s
How do you convert MHz to seconds?
mhz ( megahertz) is a unit of frequency while seconds is a unit of time ,so normally they can't be converted to one another.
But if you want to convert mhz to seconds (as in case of pendulum to find out the time period of the pendulum if frequency is provided) multiply the frequency by 106 (to convert mega hertz int hertz) and then take out the reciprocal of the quantity(as frequency=1/time period)
What is Sixty thousand millionth of a minute in seconds?
60000/1000000 is 6/100 of a minute. This x60 is 3.6 seconds.
What are the SI units for length mass volume and weight?
The SI unit for length is the meter (m), for mass is the kilogram (kg), for volume is the cubic meter (m^3), and for weight is the newton (N). Weight is a measure of force due to gravity acting on an object's mass.
9 am in central time what time in Alaska?
9 AM American CST = 5 AM HAST = 6 AM HADT = 6 AM AKST = 7 AM AKDT
9 AM American CDT = 5 AM HADT = 6 AM AKDT
9 AM Australian CST = 1:30 PM HAST = 2:30 PM HADT = 2:30 PM AKST = 3:30 PM AKDT
9 AM Australian CDT = 12:30 PM HAST = 1:30 PM HADT = 1:30 PM AKST = 2:30 PM AKDT
When was the first pendulum clock invented?
The first pendulum clock was invented by Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens in 1656. This invention allowed for more accurate timekeeping by using the regular swinging motion of a weight-driven pendulum.
The standard unit for measuring time is the second. Other common units include minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Time can also be measured in smaller increments such as milliseconds and microseconds.
What happends every minute on earth?
Every minute on Earth, tens of thousands of lightning strikes occur, millions of people exhale carbon dioxide, and billions of heartbeats happen. Time zones change, satellites orbit the planet, and animals hunt, feed, and rest.
A millisecond is a unit of time equal to one-thousandth of a second (0.001 seconds). It is commonly used to measure very short durations, such as the time it takes for a computer to process information or for the flash of a camera.
How many hours is in 35000 seconds?
There are 9.72 hours in 35,000 seconds. This calculation is done by dividing the number of seconds by 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour).
* a millisecond or 1000th of a second
* a nanosecond or a billionth of a second
* a picosecond or a trillionth of a second
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in one hour,
So 60 x 60 = 3600.
Answer, there are 3,600 seconds in One Hour.
How do you convert MHz into Hz?
To convert MHz to Hz, you need to multiply the value in MHz by 1,000,000. For example, if you have a frequency of 100 MHz, the equivalent in Hz would be 100,000,000 Hz (100 x 1,000,000).
How many hundredths of a second are in a second?
100 because a hundredth is 1 out of a hundred parts that if added together equal 1 whole.
How many days is a billionths of a second?
You divide by 60/60/24, which leads to the answer of 1.1574x10-14 of a day.
Why is ten swings of a pendulum more accurate then one swing?
Every time you measure something you may make a small error, with a stopwatch for instance there is a small delay in seeing and pressing the button. So if you only measure one swing, that error applies to the time of one swing. If you measure the time of ten swings, you have the same error, but then you divide the total time by ten to get the answer, so the error is also divided by ten.
15 kiloseconds is how many centiseconds?
The SI prefixes represent multipliers based on multiples of 10.
Examples:
(The symbol is in brackets.)
kilo (k) = 1000 (e.g. km for kilometre, ks for kilosecond)
hecto (h) = 100
deca (da) = 10
deci (d) = 1/10 = 0.1
centi (c) = 1/100 = 0.01
milli (m) = 1/1000 = 0.001
15 kiloseconds (ks) means 15 × 1000 seconds
1 centisecond (cs) means 1 × 0.01 seconds
To determine how many centiseconds there are in 15 kiloseconds, simply use division.
15 ks / 1 cs = 15,000 s / 0.01 s
= 1,500,000
