they time it in hundredths because often times in the 100 meter dash two people may have the same tenth time so the more precise you can get the timing the better

What unit of time is suitable for measuring the time of a 100- meter race?
One hundredths of a second.One hundredths of a second.One hundredths of a second.One hundredths of a second.
What unit would you use to measure time to run a race?
The answer depends on the distance. Marathons are measured in hours and minutes, sprint distances in hundredths of a second.
Why are times at a school event not usually measured to the nearest hundredth of a second?
Because most people are not interested in that degree of accuracy. Furthermore, human response times are slower than that so it would require expensive equipment to time events to hundredths of a second.
When work is measured in joules and time is measured in seconds power is measured in what unit?
Power is measured in watts when work is measured in joules and time is measured in seconds.
Is time categorical or measurement?
Time is also measured; the unit in SI is the second (s).
What would be the most practical unit to use for expressing the time it takes to blink?
Hundredths of a second.
What is acceleration measured in?
Acceleration is measured in (distance) per (unit of time) squared; for example, feet/second squared in the SI (metric) system the official unit is metres/second/second or metres/(second squared)
What is jerk measured in?
Jerk is measured in units of meters per second cubed (m/s^3). It is a measure of the rate of change of acceleration over time.
How do you calculate speed in miles per second?
The distance travelled, measured in miles divided by the time taken, measured in seconds.
What unit is a wave's velocity measured in?
Meters per second
What units would you use to describe a race?
Well, in the US they use meters, Kilometers, and even miles. Occasionally some races are measured in yards, but that is rare. If we are talking about time, its measured in hours, minutes, seconds.
What is average speed SI unit?
Since length is measured in meters, and time in seconds, it follows that speed is measured in meters/second.
