Lot more interesting detail can be read here. Herein, what come after seconds?
Millisecond(One thousandth of a second) Microsecond(One millionth of a second) Nanosecond(One billionth of a second) Picosecond(One trillionth of a second)
how does a stopwatch measure time? An atomic clock is used to register the time intervals of approximately 0.0000000001 second. A common stopwatch can measure time intervals upto 0.1 or 0.01 second, and a digital stopwatch can record 0.01 second or lesser intervals. A stopwatch loses time at the rate of 1 second every 10 seconds.
Additionally, what are the units of a stopwatch?
In most science experiments, researchers will normally use SI or the International System of Units on any of their experiments. For stopwatches, the units of time that are generally used when observing a stopwatch are minutes, seconds, and 'one hundredth of a second'.
How do you change stopwatch time to seconds?
I hope it is sufficient to say that you convert seconds to decimal hours by dividing by 3600, not 6000, because there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. So ss/60 is the number of decimal minutes; and (ss/60)/60 is the number of decimal hours, just as you are doing with mm/60.
