5 x 10-9
6.9 nanoseconds = 6.9 × 10-9 seconds
Kilo means 103, and nano means 10-9, so you must multiply by 1012 (a million million).
3.5 times 10 to the 9 power = 3,500,000,000
The value of 10 raised to the power of 9 (109) is 1,000,000,000 or one billion.
There are 1,000,000 nanoseconds in one millisecond.
Nano is the prefix of 10^(-9) or 0.00000001. So 28 nanoseconds is 2.8*10^(-8) seconds
A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, or 1/1,000,000,000 seconds. Therefore, 9 nanoseconds is nine billionths of a second, or 9/1,000,000,000 seconds, or 9.0 x 10-9 seconds.
5 x 10-9
Hello. There are 60 seconds in a minute. Then, there are a billion nanoseconds in a second. Then, it turns out to be: 1 minute = 60 seconds = 60 * 10^9 nanoseconds. Therefore, 5 minutes is 300 * 10^(9) nanoseconds, which is really large number!
The Earth is 500 light-seconds from the Sun. One second is 10^9 nanoseconds.
Work it out by basic dimensional analysis! One (average) year = 365.24 days One day = 24 hours One hour = 60 minutes One minute = 60 seconds so there are 365.24 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds in a year. One nanosecond is 10**9 seconds so multiply the above answer by 10**9 (or just shift the decimal point 9 places, it's loads easier) BTW this same approach can be used to convert any comparable sets of units, e.g. miles per hour into metres per second, or even furlongs per fortnight if you really want to try.
To convert seconds to nanoseconds, you would multiply the number of seconds by 1,000,000,000 (since 1 second is equal to 1,000,000,000 nanoseconds). For example, 1 second would be equal to 1,000,000,000 nanoseconds.
6.9 nanoseconds = 6.9 × 10-9 seconds
3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds If Einstein is right and light is a constant, and your measuring a straight line. You can not measure something moving faster than the constant speed of light moving through a nanometer worth of space, if you were to it would have to move faster than 3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds per nanometer. That is the maximum potential measurement of time in a nanometer on a straight line.
