Do you walk to school or bring your lunch?\n\nIs it colder in the winter or in Chicago?\n\n.... questions my granddad asked me.

The frequency, f, of a vibrating string of m kg/m and subject to a tension of T Newtons is given by the relation\n\nf=sqrt(T/m)/2/L\n\nHence the frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the string, assuming the tension remains unchanged.\n\nThus the required length of the string is\n40*474/624=30.385 cm.

Let x be the distance he walked.\n\ntime = distance/speed\n\nso time walked + time in truck = 10 hours\n\nx/5 + x/20 = 10\n\nmultiply by 20\n\n4x + x = 200\n5x = 200\nx= 40 km\n\nCheck - he spent 40/5 = 8 hrs walking out, and 40/20 = 2 hours walking back for a total of 10 hrs.

It doesn't really matter. Just walk as much as you want. If you don't have enough time to walk in the morning.. the evening is always another option. but it is completely up to you how much you walk and have time for. But I walk for at least 20 minutes.

At one number per second, it would take you 11, 570,000 days, or about 31709 years.\n\neven at 10 per second you would need 3170 years, so, being a mere human, you couldn't do it.\n\nWill

I think it takes about 20 min to walk a mile... so I would estimate 1/2 mile in 10 min.

There are a lot of separate reasons why this question can not b totally acurately answered, ranging from how hot it is, how active the person is, what they had in their bodies already...but a rough answer is 15 days.

the average person walks about 3 miles per hour...so it takes around 20 minutes to walk a mile.  Depends on how tall you are.

The average person can walk about 3 miles/hour on flat, easy ground.  Therefore if you can keep that pace up for 12 hours, you could potentially walk 36 miles.

How fast is he walking?

Usually a week or less.

Depends on what you are doing in your bed.\nTwice a week. Unless you are doing the horizontal tango a lot.  Then more.

Well, they say there´s no end to space....prove it!!! \n\nI say it should take you about 3 weeks if you take a gentle stroll...but hey, who´s gonna prove me wrong!!! \n\nGreat question... ;-)

how long is a piece of string?\n\nit depends where in the world you live, which city, whether you're going to buy it online or in a store, brand new or second hand.\n\nwithout details we can't tell you anything.

Odd, no one's mentioned this (maybe they all just assumed it was obvious?)\n\n"fortnight" is derived from "fourteen-night(s)"which should remind you of how long it is  [just say that fast, emphasizing the "Four"!] \n\n(As for being "old-fashioned" -- it may not be an everyday word, but it is hardly obsolete in America either!)\n\nUsage note (if you care): just as we can use 'week' when referring to a period of approximately that length, 'fortnight' does not always need to refer to precisely fourteen days (or nights!)\n\nFinal trivia notes: some languages count their days a bit differently.  Thus, in German, if someone is referring to something two weeks (14 days) away they will say (translated literally), "today in 15 days". (Similarly, for a week from today they could say "today in 8 days") That is, they are INCLUDING both today and the ending day in the count.
