The Joule. This is the product of Force (in Newtons) and Distance (in meters)
Energy is usually measured in terms of heat, which is measured in calories or joules
The SI unit of energy is the Joule. In the ft lb system it is ft.lbforce. 1 ftlbf = 1.356 joule. Thermal energy is measured in calories, 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules, it can also be in BTU, 1 BTU = 1055 Joules
by adding the objects kinetic energy and potential energy
Joules are used to measure energy. Also the related concept of work, which can be thought of as the transfer of energy.
Calorie: a unit of heat energy commonly used in nutrition to measure the energy content in food. BTU (British Thermal Unit): a unit of heat energy often used in the United States to measure energy required for heating and cooling. Joule: a unit of heat energy in the International System of Units, used to measure heat and mechanical work.
If you refer to the unit, the international unit for energy is the joule; the symbol is "J".
The unit used to measure the energy of an electromagnetic wave is called a photon.
The standard unit used to measure shaft work in mechanical systems is the Joule (J).
An "erg" is used as the measure for energy and / or mechanical work and thus is often used in the context of physics. There exists conversions for erg in Joule since Joule is more common than erg.
The international unit for energy (and work) is the joule.
The joule.
Joules are used to measure various forms of energy, including electrical, mechanical, thermal, and radiant energy. It is a unit of energy and work in the International System of Units (SI).
Calorie is the unit used to express chemical energy in food.
The unit used for ANY type of energy is the joule.
