The way I understand it, torque is unrelated to energy, despite the fact that torque and energy happen to have the same dimensions, namely force x distance (in units: newton x meters). In other words, torque is not an energy; it is a different kind of measurement.

Which quantity has the same dimension as that of gravitational potential?

The quantity that has the same dimension as gravitational potential is potential energy. Both gravitational potential and potential energy are measured in joules (J) or its derived units, indicating the amount of stored energy based on an object's position in a gravitational field.


What does combustion of fuel inside an engine produce?

It produces a transfer of energy...from potential to kinetic, or Torque when it comes to an engine.


Which torque is absent in energy meter why?

The torque absent in an energy meter is the viscous torque. This type of torque is not present because energy meters are designed to measure the energy consumed or generated by a system, and viscous torque is a resistive torque generated due to viscous fluid flow which does not contribute to the energy measurement.


Define torque.derive its unit?

Torque is vector energy. Physicists have mistakenly defined energy as a scalar. Energy is a quaternion consisting of scalar energy (potential) and vector energy (torque). The units of torque is Joules or Newton meter, the same as work or energy..Here is the correct definition of Energy = FD = -F.D + FxD where F is force vector in Newtons and D is displacement vector in meters.F.D = - FDcos(Angle) is the Work or scalar energy and FxD=FDsin(Angle) is the Torque or vector energy. If the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees there is only torque; if the angle is a zero degrees there is only work or scalar energy ; if the angle is not a multiple of these two angles there is both scalar and vector energy; work and torque. E.g FD= -Fdcos(45) + Fd sin(45) gives work and torque.


Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of chemicals. When these bonds are broken, the potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.


How are potential and kinetic energy related?

Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.


What is the equation for mechanical power?

Mechanical power is typically calculated as the product of force and velocity, or torque and angular velocity. The equation for mechanical power can be expressed as P = Fv or P = τω, where P is power, F is force, v is velocity, τ is torque, and ω is angular velocity.


What are the two types of potential energy?

There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.


Does everything have potential energy?

No, not everything has potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy. Objects that are stationary or at rest may not have potential energy.


Is energy at rest potential or kinetic energy?

Energy at rest is potential energy. It is stored energy that has the potential to be transformed into kinetic energy when an object is in motion.
