10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs 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 ...
2. The amount of film shot or material recorded during a particular period of time or during the making of a particular scene or feature, referring especially to the physical length of the recorded film strip, which was traditionally measured in feet.
The short-period mode is an oscillation with a period of only a few seconds that is usually heavily damped by the existence of lifting surfaces far from the aircraft’s center of gravity, such as a horizontal tail or canard. The time to damp the amplitude to one-half of its value is usually on the order of 1 second.
Displacement is the shift in location when an object in motion changes from one position to another. [2] For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity (a vector), whose magnitude is the average speed (a scalar quantity).
The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period. The period depends on the length of the pendulum and also to a slight degree on the amplitude, the width of the pendulum's swing. The regular motion of pendulums was used for timekeeping and was the world's most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s ...
The motion of a body in which it moves to and from about a definite point is also called oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. The time period is able to be calculated by T = 2 π l g {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}}} where l is the distance from rotation to center of mass of object undergoing SHM and g being gravitational ...
“The Short King: Because sometimes you don’t need a large or even a medium, you just need a Short King,” the post read. The message is clear: It’s short kings’ time to shine.
Thus exposure time for motion picture film is normally calculated to be 1 ⁄ 48 second (often rounded to 1 ⁄ 50 second). Adjusting the shutter angle on a film camera (if its design allows), can add or reduce the amount of motion blur by changing the amount of time that the film frame is actually exposed to light. Blurring vs. exposure times
