How many jiffies are in 1 minutes

Answer 1

Hi Gloria D.,

 In physics and often in chemistry, a jiffy is defined as the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which is approximately the size of a nucleon. One fermi is 10⁻¹⁵ m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10⁻²⁴ seconds.

? jiffiies = 1 min *( 60 sec / 1 min) * ( 1 jiffy / 3x10^-24 sec) = 2x10²⁵ jiffies.

I hope this helps, Joe.
