Work: You move a mass from A to B... the work doing this was defined by multiplying the force you used with the distance A to B.
Energy: i.e. the potential energy is defined by the gravity acceleration (g) multiplied with the mass (m) multiplied with the relative distance (h, usually from the ground) -> m*g*h. Now h is similar to a distance from a certain A to a certain B; force was defined by the multiplication of the mass and the acceleration the mass has... F (force) = m (mass)*a (acceleration), or in this case F = m*g.
Now it can be seen: energy of a mass on altitude h above the ground:
m*g*h = F*h = the work needed to lift the mass to this altitude... and as it is similar, the use of the same unit is logical.
Vic
because you move the mass
Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.
All types of energy may be measured in Joules.
Energy is measured in Joules.
energy is measured in joules and kilojoules
it's a type of energy. so it is definitely measured in JOULES(J). all types of energy are measured in JOULES(J).
Joules, all energy is measured in joules.
Joules, all energy is measured in joules.
Energy is the ability to do work. It is measured in joules.
It is measured in Joules! :D
No, kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), as this is the SI unit for energy.
Watts are measured by Joules divided by seconds. The watt is the unit of power, representing the rate at which energy is transferred. It is calculated by dividing the energy (measured in Joules) by the time (measured in seconds) over which the energy is transferred.
True some forms of energy are measured in joules (J).
