  2. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    A microsecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 11.57 days. A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or 1 ⁄ 1,000 of a millisecond. Because the next SI prefix is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10 −5 and 10 −4 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds.

  4. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air, is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.

    One barn is equal to 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2. The name derives from the folk expressions "As big as a barn," and "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn", used by particle accelerator physicists to refer to the probability of achieving a collision between particles. For nuclear purposes, 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2 is actually rather large. [25]

  9. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions per minute (rpm). [1 ...
