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
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
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)
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.
Joules. Joules are also equal to newtons*meters, which is [kg*(m^2)]/(s^2)
No, it is a unit for measuring energy.
It depends what you're measuring. For example, if you're measuring distance, the SI unit used is the metre.
litres would do.
Metres
Work means transfer of energy; therefore it is measured in Joule.
Do you mean a calorie? A calorie is a unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food.
No, it is a unit for measuring energy.
The Joule.
The customary unit is called the Btu, or British thermal unit. The metric unit is the joule. The joule is the standard metric unit for measuring any type of energy, including heat.
The joule.
caliore is the unit of measuring energy.
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is the lumen. The lumen is symbolized as lm.
Joules are the metric units used to measure energy. When you are working with any form of energy you state them in joules.
Joules, all energy is measured in joules.
The lumen is the unit used to measure the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source. The lumen represents the international standard unit of luminous flux that is based on the candela.
While the SI unit - and therefore, the recommended unit - for energy is the joule, energy used in households is more commonly measured in kWh. Since a joule is a watt-second, a kWh (kilowatt-hour) is equal to 3,600,000 joules.
In the SI, any energy is measured in Joules.
