Common urban legend, but quite untrue.\n\nThere is no unit of time called a "jiffy," no matter how many times you read it in forwarded e-mails.  \n\nThere are quasi-uses but nothing that's ever seriously used.  Check dictionary.com for a list of these.

Roughly 3 ten-thousandths of a second.\n\nIf an object is travelling 60 mph, it moves at 1 mile or 5,280 ft/min.  60 seconds in an minute 5,280/60 = 88 ft per second.  12 inches in a foot = 1,056 inches per second.  2.76/1056 = approx. .00261 seconds.

1 second = 1 000 000 microseconds

The frequency is 282 cycles per second (Hz), so one cycle will take 1/282 seconds. Period is the inverse (or reciprocal) of the frequency.

roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.\n;o)

The same time as it was one second ago. The only reason it would change would be if the time was like 8:21:59; one second from that would be 8:22.\n :)

You're really close! The answer is actually 1:03:11. You were off one minute because you forgot to borrow a minute from the 34 so you could subtract the seconds.

Per minute - if it's a mobile.

It's actually plenty of time. Count with the clock for like three minutes. Yipe! it's longer than you think. When you're in pain, 60 seconds is an eternity. It's plenty of time. Unless you're a bomb technician :0)

the answer is time or the minutes pointer in a watch

the speed = distance/time

Good question!  I would have to say between 5-10 seconds.

A unit of time equal to 1/60 of a minute or 1/3600 of an hour. The international definition was originally 1/86400th of a mean solar day in 1900, but is now instead the time required for 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cs atom. Since the speed of light Eric Weisstein's World of Physics is defined to be 299,792,458 m s-1, this makes the meter Eric Weisstein's World of Physics a derived unit. A mnemonic for the number of seconds in a year is 1 nanocentury is approximately equal to  seconds (1 y =  s, whereas this approximation gives  s).
