a crystal when cut to specific dimensions will vibrate at a particular frequency when an electric potential is applied across it. The length of the second is standardized by the Cs crystal.
A standard unit is a widely recognized and agreed-upon unit of measurement that is used consistently to quantify a particular physical quantity. For example, the standard unit for mass is the kilogram, for length is the meter, and for time is the second. These standard units allow for consistent and accurate comparisons of measurements.

The international standard of length is defined by the meter, which is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is currently defined in terms of the speed of light in a vacuum, where the meter is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
A quantity adopted as a standard of measurement is a defined unit that is universally accepted for measuring a specific physical quantity. This standard unit provides a consistent reference point for comparing and quantifying measurements across different contexts and applications. Examples include the meter for length, the kilogram for mass, and the second for time.

The speed of light in vacuum, usually denoted by c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its value is 299,792,458 metres per second, a figure that is exact since the length of the metre is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[1] In imperial units this speed is approximately 186,282 miles per second.
Length is not measured in "per second".
The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter: 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter 1 decimeter = 0.1 meter 1 kilometer = 1000 meters

The muzzle velocity of the FN 5.7x28mm cartridge is approximately 1,900 feet per second (580 meters per second) when fired from a standard length barrel.
