Why is the joule the SI unit of energy also the appropriate unit for measuring heat?
Quite simply, because heat is also a form of energy. It has been found that a certain amount of mechanical energy is equivalent to a certain amount of heat energy; it makes sense to use the same unit for all kinds of energy.
What is the rate of energy dissipation?
The rate of energy dissipation is the amount of energy lost or converted to heat per unit of time. It is typically measured in watts (W) or joules per second (J/s). The higher the rate of energy dissipation, the more quickly energy is being transformed into other forms, such as heat.
Is a joule a unit of measure of all forms of energy?
Yes, any type of energy can be expressed in joules. In practice, other energy units are sometimes used, for example calories for heat energy and food energy (this is gradually being replaced by the joule), and eV (electron-volt) for the energy of subatomic particles. But it is always possible to express such energies in joules.
What is a unit of measure for all forms of energy?
The international unit for energy (and work) is the joule.
A unit of energy is the unit of what?
... is called power. The SI unit for energy is the joule; the SI unit for power is joule/second = watt.
Why unit of heat is the same with energy?
Heat is a energy form.So unit of heat is the same as energy

A unit of measure of heat or other forms of energy?
The calorie is used for heat, 1 calorie heats 1 gram of water by 1 degC. The Joule is used for mechanical energy, but there is a fixed relation, 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules

The international unit for energy (and work) is the joule.
What is the capacity to do work or produce heat?
Energy is the capacity to do work or produce heat. It exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy, and can be converted from one form to another. The SI unit for energy is the joule (J).
A unit of energy is the unit of what?
... is called power. The SI unit for energy is the joule; the SI unit for power is joule/second = watt.
What is the SI unit of measurement for all forms of energy?
The SI unit of measurement for all forms of energy is the joule (J).
The unit of energy is the same as what?
The unit for energy is the joule. That's also the unit for work and for heat - both of which refer to energy transfers.
What is heat what are unit of heat energy called?
Heat is molecular motion; the units are BTU and calories.
What is the difference betwween heat energy and temperature?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature Heat is proportional to temperature and in not equal to temperature. Heat has joule as unit where as temperature has the unit kelvin
