What is Kilobit data vs megabit data storage?

They are both the same thing it is just the megabit is larger than the kilobit by 1024 times. The term bit is refering to a 0 or a 1 in data storage. So a megabit can hold 1,024,000 bits of data or 0's and 1's where as a kilobit can hold 1024 bits.


How many mb is 238 kb?

MB means million bits and KB means thousand bits. 238 KB would be the same as .238 MB.


Is bits per second the same thing as bit rate?

Generally, but bit rate can be defined as any bit per unit of time so it could also refer to bits per minute, bits per hour or bits per day or bits per year etc...For the most part though bit rate is bits per second.


What is the speed of electromagnetic waves in air?

About the same as in a vacuum - 300 million meters/second.


Is 30 megs the same as 30 mbps?

"Megs" or Megabytes are a measurement of storage. "MBPS" or Megabits per second are a measurement of bandwidth. Storage measurements only measure how much space a file may take up, or how much space is left on disk. Bandwidth measures how quickly data can transfer to/from one place to another, whether that be from a hard drive to RAM, or from one computer to another. Megabits per second does NOT equal Megabytes per second. Bits and bytes are different sized units of measurement. 8 bits = 1 byte 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte 1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte Since bandwidth is measured in bits, the measurements are more like that 1024 bits = 1 kilobit 1024 kilobits = 1 megabit 1024 megabits = 1 gigabit Therefore to compare 30 megabits to 30 megabytes, we can do a simple equation to find out the megabytes you can expect to transfer per second. 30 megabits = 31457280 bits 31457280 / 8 = 3932160 bytes ( 3932160 bytes / 1024 ) / 1024 = 3.75 megabytes per second. Which can be simplified by simply dividing our megabits by 8.


What is the file size for 4 Mbps?

Mbps is not a file size, but a file transfer rate. It stands for "mega bits per second", in the same way that kbpsstands for "kilo bits per second".Bits, however, are different from bytes. Bytes are made of 8 bits. A kilobyte (kb) is 1024 bytes(because computing uses multiples of 4, like 8, 16, 32, 64...etc), and a megabyte (mb) is 1024 kilobytesBecause 8 bits make a byte, a kilobyte is 8192 bits, but 1024 bytes.Coming back to the question, if your transfer rate is 4 mbps, and the transfer lasts for 10 seconds, the file size is 5 megabytes.Be careful though, because Mbps = megabits per second, but MBps = megabytes per second.


How fast is ten to the seventh power meters per second?

It's a speed of exactly 10 million meters per second. That's the same as 36 million km per hour, or 22.37 million miles per hour.


How many feet in 8 million?

That would be 8 million feet in 8 million. As you didnt specify the second unit of measurement (8 million of what?), I would just presume its the same as the first unit of measurement you provided


What is the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?

it is about 300,000 kilometers per second.


Will all the bits of chaff travel the same distance?

no


How fast does light waves travels in 1 second?

Please note that the speed is the same for 1 second or for 1 hour or whatever. Light travels 300,000 km per second, or 300 million meters per second.


How many Bits use in Bitmap?

1024bitsIf "Bitmap" refers to a specific entity, image or file: I do not know. But if "Bitmap" refers to a general image then it is 8 bytes or 64 bits per pixel. I just made 3 1*1 bitmap images at colordepths 2bits (monochrome), 8 bits (256 colors) and 24 bits (16 Million colors). The sizes of these images were the same! (surprized me too!) Then I made a 1*2 pixel image and it was 66 bytes (528 bits) so the "overhead Microsoft paint puts on a bitmap is 400 bits. This could be an effect of limitations inherent in Microsoft Paint.
