kinetic energy like any other form of energy , its measuring units are joule or calorie or Btu or toe , the most common used units are joule and calorie according to what field you are using kinetic energy in , in thermodynamics we use calorie but in oscillations and waves we use joules

What are the units for kenetic energy?

kilogram meter squared per second squared. also called a joule.


What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?

Momentum does not have the same units as the others. Kinetic energy is measured in joules, potential energy in joules, work in joules, but momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).


Tempetur is the measure of the average of the kinetic energy of a substance?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles have. Temperature is commonly measured in units such as degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).


How do you compare the units of work and kinetic energy?

Work and kinetic energy are defined as scalar energy and have the same units joules. dW=F.dr = (dP/dt) dr=dP(dr/dt) = dPv = vdP= mvdv W = F.r = mv^2/2. Physics has defined scalar energy but has no definition for vector energy mcV. Torque which is T= Fxr should be recognized as vector energy but it is defined as "Torque". This is another example of Physics not appreciating that the Universe is made of Quaternions, a Scalar part and a Vector part. E= FR = -F.R + FxR where the scalar energy has been defined as work (F.R) and the vector energy is defined as Torque FxR. Kinetic energy is a transformation of work in terms of mass and velocity versus force and distance. The vector energy is not called energy. See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

What are the variable units for kinetic energy?

The variable units for kinetic energy are joules (J) in the International System of Units (SI). In the context of mechanics, kinetic energy is defined as the energy an object possesses due to its motion.


What unit is used for kinetic energy?

The same units as for any type of energy. There is no special unit for kinetic energy.


Kinetic energy of a moving object varies directly with the square of velocity If a car moving at 60mph has kinetic energy 180 units how many units of kinetic energy does the same car have at 20mph?

The kinetic energy of the car varies with the square of its velocity. Therefore, if the car is moving at 20 mph (which is one-third of 60 mph), its kinetic energy would be (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of the original kinetic energy. So, at 20 mph, the car would have 180/9 = 20 units of kinetic energy.


In what units is kinetic energy measured in?

What unit use for work potential and kinetic?

Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.


Which units are used to express kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is typically measured in joules (J) in the International System of Units (SI). Another commonly used unit to express kinetic energy is the electronvolt (eV), especially in the context of particle physics.

The measurement of kinetic or thermal energy is known as what?

When the energy is molecular, atomic, or ionic, it is known as temperature. It is kinetic because the temperature is the mean kinetic energy of these particles. This, by definition, is the thermal energy.


Is the kinetic energy of a fallen Apple is 5.2 and is potential energy is 3.5 what is its mechanical energy?

The mechanical energy of the fallen apple would be the sum of its kinetic and potential energies. Therefore, its mechanical energy would be 5.2 (kinetic energy) + 3.5 (potential energy), which equals to 8.7 units.
