The joule (/ dʒ uː l / JOOL, or / dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a mass through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.
Energy is defined via work, so the SI unit of energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honour of James Prescott Joule [1] and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units
7 sie 2024 · A Joule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. In simpler terms, a Joule represents the energy required to perform a specific action, such as lifting a small apple one meter up in the air. J = kg.m².s⁻². = N.m.
2 lip 2024 · The Joule (symbol: J) is the official unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule. One joule represents the amount of energy transferred when applying a force of one newton over a distance of one meter.
7 mar 2019 · The joule (symbol: J) is the basic SI unit of energy. A joule is equal to the kinetic energy of a kilogram mass moving at the speed of one meter per second (one joule is a kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2).
12 kwi 2022 · The SI unit for Energy is the joule, usually abbreviated J. One joule is equal to one kilogram meter squared per second squared: \(\ 1 \mathrm{~J}=1 \frac{\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{2}}{\mathrm{~s}^{2}}\)
joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 10 7 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds.
