Best Answer

500 joules is equal to 368.78 ft-lbf.

For example, an object has 500 joules of kinetic energy, when its mass is 10 kg (~22 lbs) and it is traveling at 10 m/s (36 km/h or ~38.2 ft/s).

Second example: The muzzle energy of a traveling 9mm bullet is around 500 joules.

Third example: An object with mass of 5kg (11 lbs) and which is raised at 10 metres (32.8 ft) has around 500 joules of potential energy.

So, 500 joules is quite much. Getting hit with an object which has 500 joules of kinetic energy can be lethal.

How much work can a 500 watt electric mixer do in 2.50 minutes?

The work or energy in Joules is the power in watts times the number of second it runs for. So 500 watts for 150 seconds is 75,000 Joules.


How much energy joules in a peanut?

Yes, there are energy joules in a peanut. One peanut releases 1,880 physicist calories, or 1.88 food calories. Energy is measured in joules. One food calorie equals 4,200 joules. So one peanut has just under 8,000 joules of energy.


What is the potential energy of a 500 N weight before it falls 10 m?

500 n is a force created by a mass (500 / 9.807) = 50.98 kg so: potential energy = m * g * h = 50.98 * 9.807 * 10 = 5000 joules. . if it was 500 kg (not newtons) weight, then m*g*h = 500 * 9.807 * 10 = 49035 joules.


How many joules in an apple Energy is measured in joules?

Well the average apple is about 120 calories and 1 calorie is equal to a little less than 4.2 joules. Therefore an apple contains approximately 500 joules of energy.

What contains the most joules of energy a banana or a sausage?

1 calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. sausage is 50 calories or 209.3 joules of energy. banana is 105 calories or 439.53 joules of energy. Therefore a peeled banana contains much more joules of energy than tasty looking sausages. ;)

How do you increase the the temperature of 500 grams of water from 20 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius?

q(joules) = mass * specific heat * change in temperature q = (500 grams H2O)(4.180 J/goC)(100o C - 20o C) = 1.7 X 105 joules ================add this much heat energy to the water
