One hundredth of a second is called a centisecond, though the term is rarely used. It can also be expressed as 1 over 100, or 0.01.
A nanosecond
A second! 1 = Ten tenths = Hundred hundredths = Thousand thousandths etc. A millionth of a millionth of a second, or 1/(1million x 1 million) seconds, is called a picosecond. 1/(1 million) seconds, or one millionth of a second, is called a microsecond. 1/(1000 x 1million) seconds, or one thousandth of a microsecond, is called a nanosecond.
Ah, what a delightful question! One trillionth of a second is called a picosecond. Just imagine all the wonderful things that can happen in such a tiny slice of time, like a gentle breeze passing by. Keep exploring the beauty of the world around you, my friend.
One-tenth of a second is called a "decisecond" (not to be confused with ten seconds which is called a "decasecond") However, in common parlance, simply saying "tenth of a second" is considered quite acceptable for nearly all applications.Example: "She ran the 40 meter dash in four seconds and 3 deciseconds."
