Unit of energy in cgs?
That's the erg.
What is the cgs unit for force?
Work is measured in joules.The unit of work is the joule (J).Please see the related link.The joule is the SI unit of work and heat.
What unit is used for kinetic energy?
The same units as for any type of energy. There is no special unit for kinetic energy.
What is the cgs unit of time?
CGS unit of time is Second,s.
What is a CGS unit of weight?
The CGS unit of weight (no longer used) was the gram
What is the relation of cgs unit of energy ands unit of ENERGY?
kg
What is the ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy?
Joule
Unit of energy in cgs?
That's the erg.
What is the SI unit symbol for heat energy?
Heat is a form of energy. In terms of kinetic theory it can be defined asthe sum of kinetic energy of molecules in a sample of a substance.-- Its SI unit is the Joule.-- Its CGS unit is the erg = 10-7 joule.Comment'Heat' is energy in transit between a warmer body and a cooler body. The definition given in the original answer is for 'internal energy', not heat.

What is the unit of measure when converting electrical energy to kinetic?
The joule is the unit associated with kinetic energy
What is the cgs unit of time?
CGS unit of time is Second,s.

The CGS unit of weight (no longer used) was the gram
What are the variable units for kinetic energy?
Any unit that you can use for energy can be used for kinetic energy.
Can kinetic energy be measured in newtons?
No, kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), as this is the SI unit for energy.
Si and cgs unit of stress?
The SI unit of stress is N/m2. The CGS unit is dyne/cm2.
