    millisecond: ms One thousandth of one second 1 ms: The time for a neuron in the human brain to fire one impulse and return to rest [13] 4–8 ms: The typical seek time for a computer hard disk: 10 −2: centisecond cs One hundredth of one second 1.6667 cs: The period of a frame at a frame rate of 60 Hz.

  3. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds.

  4. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    A microsecond is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one millionth (0.000001 or 10 −6 or 1 1,000,000) of a second.Its symbol is μs, sometimes simplified to us when Unicode is not available.

    millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on stopwatches. jiffy (electronics) ~ 10 −3 s: Used to measure the time between alternating power cycles. Also a casual term for a short period of time. centisecond: 10 −2 s: One hundredth of a second. decisecond: 10 −1 s: One tenth of a second. second: 1 s: SI ...

    1 (10 0) 1 meter 1 m (exactly) Since 2019, defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium. 2.72 m Height of Robert Wadlow, tallest-known human. [31] 8.38 m Length of a London bus (AEC Routemaster) 10 1

  7. Light-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-second

    The mean distance, over land, between opposite sides of the Earth is 66.8 light-milliseconds. Communications satellites are typically 1.337 light-milliseconds [citation needed] (low Earth orbit) to 119.4 light-milliseconds (geostationary orbit) from the surface of the Earth. Hence there will always be a delay of at least a quarter of a second ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database

    A scalable open-source distributed graph database for storing and handling billions of vertices and trillions of edges with milliseconds of latency. It is designed based on a shared-nothing distributed architecture for linear scalability. [35] Neo4j: 5.26.1: 2025-01-13 [36]

  9. Inverse second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_second

    The inverse second or reciprocal second (s −1), also called per second, is a unit defined as the multiplicative inverse of the second (a unit of time).It is applicable for physical quantities of dimension reciprocal time, such as frequency and strain rate.
