Századmásodperces

Századmásodperces is a Hungarian word that translates to "hundredth of a second." It refers to a unit of time equal to 0.01 seconds. This measurement is commonly used in contexts requiring precise timing, such as in sports, particularly track and field events like sprints and races, where fractions of a second can determine the outcome. It is also relevant in fields like scientific experimentation, high-speed photography, and engineering, where the duration of events needs to be accurately captured. The term is derived from the Hungarian words "század," meaning "hundredth," and "másodperc," meaning "second." In scientific notation, a századmásodperces is 10⁻² seconds. Its inverse, 100 századmásodperces, equals one second. The precision offered by measuring in hundredths of a second allows for finer distinctions in performance and phenomena than whole seconds would allow.
