Joule is a measure of energy, also called work, and it doesn't matter what type of energy it is.
Work is normally used to describe mechanical energy but it is still measured in Joules.

What unit of measurement is energy calculated in?
The SI unit of energy is the Joule The SI unit of energy is the Joule
A caalorie is the amount of energy needed to?
Calorie is the unit of heat energy in cgs system. One calorie is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through one degree Celsius. But in MKSA system of units, joule is used as the unit of heat energy. One calorie is equal to 4.180 joule. Calorie is usually used in bio chemical changes.
What are the units used to measure internal energy and heat?
Heat is also a type of energy, so energy units would be used in both cases. The standard (i.e., international) unit for all sorts of energy is the joule.
Why is James Prescott Joule named after a unit of measurement?
he was the one who discovered that Mechanical Energy(ME) and heat were proportional
Which forms of energy is released when wood is burned?
Chemical potential energy is released as heat, light, and sound when wood is burnt.
What is the energy conversion of a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank?
joule
Is joule a good conductor of heat?
A joule is a unit of work or energy; so no, it is not a conductor of heat.
Who proved that heat was a form of energy?
joule
Si unit of heat?
Latent heat is a type of heat, and heat is a type of energy. Therefore, units of energy are used. In the SI, that would be the joule.
Why is the joule the SI unit of energy also the appropriate unit for measuring heat?
The SI unit for energy is the Joule. It doesn't matter whether it be heat energy, or some other form of energy.The SI unit for energy is the Joule.

Define heat in terms of energy?
A joule, a Calorie...
What is one unit for heat or energy?
Joule
Heat is measured in newtons?
False. Heat is energy, and is measured in Joules. One joule equals one newton∙meter.
What is James joule famous for?
James Joule is famous for his work studying heat and the law of conservation of energy. The SI measurement the joule is named after him.
What are the unit used to express heat?
"Heat", as used in physics, refers to heat energy - and the unit for any type of energy is the joule.
If 500 J of energy is put in a computer but 120J is wasted as heat what is the efficiency?
You have to divide the useful energy by the input energy, in this case, 380 Joule / 500 Joule.
Friction reduces efficiency because energy is lost as?
heat energy + sound energy
