What is used as a unit for measuring energy?

Answer 1

The smallest unit of energy usually measured is called the Erg. 1 erg is the amount

of work done when a force of 1 dyne pushes through a distance of 1 centimeter.

The SI standard unit of energy today is the joule. 1 joule is the amount of work done

when a force of 1 newton pushes through a distance of 1 meter. It's the same amount

of energy as 10 million ergs.

A unit of energy widely recognized by people in much of the world ... because it's the

unit counted on our electric bills ... is the kilowatt-hour. If you use 1,000 joules of

energy every second and keep that up for an hour, you've used 1 kilowatt-hour of it.

1 kilowatt-hour is the same amount of energy as 3,600,000 joules, or 36,000,000,000,000 ergs.
its a joule

Answer 2

There are several possibilities.

Here are a few:

-- Joule

-- calorie

-- Calorie (kilocalories)

-- Horsepower-hour

-- foot-pound

-- dyne-centimeter

-- kilowatt-hour

-- watt-second

-- volt-ampere-second

Answer 3

The SI unit of energy is the Joule.

Other units in common use include . . .

-- foot-pound

-- watt-second

-- inch-ounce

-- horsepower-hour

-- calorie

-- kilowatt-hour

-- dyne-centimeter

-- erg

-- megaton (TNT)

Answer 4

The most common unit of energy in Biology is calories. A calorie is a unit of energy, require to raise 1 kilogram of water to 4.1868 joules.

Answer 5

Joules. Joules are also equal to newtons*meters, which is [kg*(m^2)]/(s^2)
