What type of motion is seen in a time measuring device?

Clocks and watches which are used for measuring time are based on the principle of periodic motion. The pendulum clock used for measuring time is based on the periodic motion of a pendulum.

How was time measured in ancient times?

The earliest method of measuring time was through observation of the celestial bodies - the sun, moon, stars and the five planets known in antiquity.

Which motion is used in clock?

Since the clock hands move in a circular direction, they are said to be in circular or rotational motion. Therefore, the clock hands are said to be in a periodic motion and circular or rotational motion.

What motion is common for all clock?

The most common thing in almost all the clocks is that all of them show periodic motion.

How motion and time are related to each other?

Motion is the change in position of an object w.r.t a frame of reference observed against time. ... Example:Time can be related to motion by this, because when a particle travels with very high velocity, the time gets slowed. For example, a clock ticking at 1 second will tick at 1.01 second or something like that.

What kind of motion are observed in the pendulum of a clock?

The motion is regular and repeating, an example of periodic motion.

What type of motion is a pendulum in a clock?

Pendulum clock shows periodic type of motion. This kind of motion that repeats after a specific period of time is known as periodic motion. In the periodic motion, the movement made by these objects is called oscillation.

What is the motion of wall clock?

Periodic. Periodic motion is motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time. Every body executing circular motion can be said to be executing periodic motion.

How many types of motion are there?

In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control.

What kind of motion is executed by wall clock?

The pendulum of a wall clock executes a similar motion. Examples of such periodic to and fro motion abound: a boat tossing up and down in a river, the piston in a steam engine going back and forth, etc. Such a motion is termed as oscillatory motion.

Which of the following is an ancient device used for measuring time?

clepsydra, also called water clock, ancient device for measuring time by the gradual flow of water.

Which time measuring device was used by our ancestors before the pendulum clock?

Sundial or water clocks were used before pendulums...........

What was the first device to measure time?

The measurement of time began with the invention of sundials in ancient Egypt some time prior to 1500 B.C. However, the time the Egyptians measured was not the same as the time today's clocks measure. For the Egyptians, and indeed for a further three millennia, the basic unit of time was the period of daylight.
