Assuming that a span of five years includes one leap year, the number of hours is equal to (365 x 24 x 4) + (366 x 24) = 43824 hours.
Assuming that a span of five years includes two leap years, the number of hours is equal to (365 x 24 x 3) + (366 x 24 x 2) = 43848 hours.
If none of the leap years was a leap year, then there would be (365 x 24 x 5) = 43800 hours in five years.
5 years = 43 829.0639 hours
What are three kinds of change in motion?
I'm going to assume that Newton's Three Law's of Motion are Applicable here. The first law states that every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force.
The second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and acts in the same direction.
The third law states that for every applied force, or action, there is an equal force, or reaction, which acts in the opposite direction.
"Throughout history, time has been measured by the movement of the earth in relation to the sun and stars. The earliest timekeeper dating from as far back as 3500 BC was the shadow clock, or gnomon, a vertical obelisk that cast a shadow. Devices almost as old as the shadow clock and sundial include the hourglass (in which the flow of sand is used to measure time intervals) and the water clock or clepsydra, in which the flow of water indicates passage of time. All time-pieces require a source of power and a means of transmitting and controlling it. In today's clocks the source of power may be produced by weights, a coiled spring or an electric current. The huge planetary clock-type models, driven by water that originated during the 13th century and discovered in China, the Middle East and North America are considered to be the forerunners of today's mechanical clocks. Eventually a weight falling under the force of gravity was substituted for the flow of water. Although the exact origin of this mechanical device remains a mystery to this day, the first recorded examples date from the 14th century. An original medieval clock dating from 1386 has been fully restored and can be seen at Salisbury Cathedral in England. These clocks were not very accurate and would loose up to 15 minutes a day!"

An internet alarm clock works the same as a normal alarm clock just it is based on the internet. You enter the time you wish the alarm to go off and as long as your computer is turned on and connected at the time then it will sound the alarm.
How many phone calls does an average person get in a week?
The number of phone calls an average person may get vary depending on certain issues. Some of the issues that may determine the number of calls include work, family functions, and number of friends. Most people receive between 10 to 20 calls a week.
How does a cell phone know what time it is?
Nowadays most receive a radio signal to set the time and keep it accurate
Do galaxies change over time explain your answer?
it changes overtime with constant movement and change in rotation
How many seconds is 80 minutes?
There are 60 seconds in one minute. Therefore, 80 seconds is equal to 80/60 = 1.3 recurring (that is, 1.3333..) minutes or 1 minute 20 seconds.
How many hours is 1200pm to 200am?
No such time as 12 pm . It either 12 noon or 12 midnight. 'pm' are the initials for the Latin words ' post meridian', which in modern English means 'after noon'. If the time is 12 noon, or 12 midnight it is neither 'am' nor 'pm'.
However, if you mean 12 noon to 2;00 am, the length of time is 14 hours.
Also if the time is 12 midnight, then to 2;00am the time is 2 hours.
How do you tell time using a compass?
You would not be able to tell the time accurately, for you will have to estimate degrees across the sky. AND you'll need to know whether you have daylight saving or not; and also the magnetic variation of the magnetic field at your location. And of course which hemisphere you are in. BUT don't forget, this was the basis of telling the time used by the ancients before the compass (and watches) were invented, for they knew the direction in which the sun was highest in the sky.
Start. For this exercise, we'll assume that you're in a location where you can make marks on the ground, And that you have an undamaged compass. You'll also need a small branch with two tips with you can draw a circle on the ground.
First. Determine the direction of true north. Correct the direction pointed by the compass needle for the magnetic variation at your site. This variation will be + or - from the needle indication, and may have a magnitude of several tens of degrees. Mark this direction on the ground with a line. This direction is true north. [For a +ve variation, subtract the number from the compass scale. For a -ve variation, add the number to the compass scale.]
Second. Using the pair of tips of your branch as a pair of compasses [this is the drawing instrument we refer to, and that's its proper name.] draw a circle on the ground, and in this circle, proceed to draw one of those six-pointed propellers. You will have played around doing this with your drawing set at some time. Thus the angle between any adjacent pair of 'propeller tip' is 60o (degrees). It will be helpful to mark the 30o and the 15o positions as well between one of the pairs of adjacent 'propeller tips'.
Now you know that the sun appears to revolve around the earth 360o degrees in 24 hours, so the sun moves across the sky by 15o per hour. [360 divided by 24].
Third. Mark on the ground a line in the direction of the sun and intersecting your 'true north' line above. This your Sun Line. Using our 'propeller diagram' estimate the degrees between your true north line, and your Sun Line. Remember the sun moves 15o each hour. You should be able now to determine the time. This time will be the true time for that longitude.
BUT. In some countries, the accepted time zones span many degrees of longitude; China and Russia come to mind; so local time as given by the time zone may well be out by several hours when compared with the true time! And daylight saving also has its effect. [And my country has a permanent 30 minute offset as well for reasons convenient to us.]
When Jane was at Gateshead hall, where did she spend most of her time?
Jane spent most of her time in the nursery.
Why did Washingtons troops have a difficult time in the second winter at morristown?
It was so hard because the troops were low on money, low on supplies, sick and naked
"PM" is the label used for times after 12 Noon and before 12 Midnight.
4:30 PM is in the late afternoon.
What is the speed of a woman who runs 400m in 80 seconds?
You can find all track and field records here: http://www.alltime-athletics.com/women.htm
The Women's 400 Meter record is held by Marita Koch of East Germany who ran 47.60 on June 10, 1985 in Canberra.
How many hours a day does the average college wrestler train in the offseason?
On average, the college wrestler will train about 2 hours per day in the off-season. During the wrestling season, the average college wrestler will double his training times!
What is the absolute best time of year to come fishing?
Late February thru July is the best month for flats fishing tarpon in the Keys. With peak months being May and June, these six months are referred to as tarpon season. This is when the BIG tarpon is caught. August thru October is the best time of year to catch baby tarpon in the lower Florida Keys.
