The cyclepersecond was a once common unit of frequency . With the organization of the International System of Units abbreviated SI from the French in 1960, the cyclepersecond was officially replaced by the hertz , or reciprocal second&mdash i.e. the cycle in cyclepersecond was dropped. Symbolically, cyclepersecond units are cyclesecond , while hertz is 1 second reciprocal second, without cycle or s 1. Perhaps because of the convenient brevity it brings to both speech and writing, this particular mandate has been so widely adopted as to render the old cyclepersecond all but extinct. The obsolete terms kilocycle , megacycle and kilomegacycle still occur in some older documents the modern equivalents are kilohertz, megahertz and gigahertz, respectively. Criticism Nonetheless, the change is not without its critics, who argue that the hertz should be redefined as simply a renaming of the cyclepersecond it displaced, rather than as the reciprocal second. Since SI has adopted the radian as its preferred but dimensionless unit of angle , but left its explicit writing discretionary in unit combinations, the radian persecond has perhaps a better claim than the cyclepersecond to being equivalent to the reciprocal second. But the hertz is overwhelmingly some would say exclusively used in the sense of cyclepersecond, and certainly never used in the sense of radian persecond.

The number of instructions persecond is an approximate indicator of the likely performance of the processor. The number of instructions executed per clock is not a constant for a given processor it depends on how the particular software being run interacts with the processor, and indeed the entire machine, particularly the memory hierarchy .

The radian persecond symbol rad s sup &minus 1 sup or rad s is the SI unit of angular velocity , commonly denoted by the Greek letter omega .

Clarify date February 2011 This means that great care must be taken to avoid confusing angular frequency and frequency . One of the important uses of the unit radian persecond is in calculation of the power transmitted by a shaft. In the International System of Units International System , widely used in physics and engineering , the power, p, delivered to the shaft is given by the product of in radians persecond times the torque , , in newton meter s applied to the shaft. Thus, p , and the unit is the watt , with no numerical coefficient needed. In other systems, the calculation is somewhat more complicated, because if one multiplies angular velocity in revolutions per minute r.p.m. times the torque in pound foot torque pound feet , then a multiplicative constant is needed to give the result in horsepower .

The metre or meter persecond squared is the Units of measurement unit of acceleration in the International System of Units SI . As a SI derived unit derived unit it is composed from the SI base unit s of length, the metre , and the standard unit of time, the second . Its symbol is written in several forms as m s sup 2 sup , m s sup 2 sup , or m s sup 2 sup . As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre persecondpersecond . Example An object experiences a constant acceleration of one metre persecond squared 1 m s sup 2 sup from a state of rest, when it achieves the speed of 5 m s after 5 seconds and 10 m s after 10 seconds. Related units Newton s Second Law states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. The unit of force is the newton unit newton N , and mass has the SI unit kilogram kg . One newton equals one kilogram metre persecond squared. Therefore, the unit metre persecond squared is equivalent to newton per kilogram, N kg sup 1 sup , or N kg. ref Kirk, Tim Physics for the IB Diploma Standard and Higher Level , Page 61, Oxford University Press, 2003 ref Thus, the Earth s gravitational field near ground level can be quoted as 9.8 metres persecond squared, or the equivalent 9.8 N kg.

A Pulse persecond PPS is an electrical signal that very Accuracy and precision precisely indicates the start of a second . PPS signals are output by various types of precision clocks, including some models of GPS receiver s. Depending on the source, properly operating PPS signals have an accuracy ranging from a few nanoseconds to a few milliseconds. Uses PPS signals are used for precise timekeeping and time measurement. One increasingly common use is in computer timekeeping, including the Network Time Protocol NTP protocol. Because GPS is considered a stratum disambiguation Telecoms stratum 0 source, a common use for the PPS signal is to connect it to a PC using a low latency, low jitter wire Electrical connection connection and allow a program to synchronize to it this makes the PC a stratum 1 time source. Note that because the PPS signal does not specify the time, but merely the start of a second, one must combine the PPS functionality with another time source that provides the full date and time in order to ascertain the time both accurately and precisely.
