The cgs power unit is the erg, a dyne-centimeter.
Kinetic energy= mv2 /2 Units for mass in CGS-gm Units for Velocity in CGS-cm/sec Therefore Unit of KE in CGS=gm(cm/sec)2 = ergs
That's the erg.
It doesn't "do" anything. An erg is an old unit for energy, in the cgs system. The modern unit for energy is the joule. 1 joule is 10 million ergs.
An erg is a unit of energy in the cgs system. It is equal to 10-7 joule (that is, 0.1 microjoule or 100 nanojoule) - a very small unit.

An erg is an old-fashioned unit for energy (from the cgs system). Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but you can convert one type of energy into another type.
An erg is a unit of energy in the cgs system. It is equal to 10-7 joule (that is, 0.1 microjoule or 100 nanojoule) - a very small unit.
Statcoulumb is the unit of charge in cgs system.
A barye is a unit of pressure under the CGS system.
Work is measured in joules.The unit of work is the joule (J).Please see the related link.The joule is the SI unit of work and heat.
