  2. Joule-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule-second

    The joule-second also appears in quantum mechanics within the definition of the Planck constant. [2] Angular momentum is the product of an object's moment of inertia, in units of kgm 2 and its angular velocity in units of rad⋅s −1. This product of moment of inertia and angular velocity yields kgm 2s −1 or the joule-second. The ...

  3. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass travelling at 1 m/s, or a 1 kg mass travelling at 1.41 m/s. The energy required to lift an apple up 1 m, assuming the apple has a mass of 101.97 g. The heat required to raise the temperature of 0.239 g of water from 0 °C to 1 °C. [15] The kinetic energy of a 50 kg human moving very slowly (0.2 m/s or 0.72 km ...

  4. SI derived unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_derived_unit

    The SI has special names for 22 of these coherent derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m 2), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m 3 or kgm −3), the SI derived unit of density.

  5. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Kinetic energy per unit mass: ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ v 2, where v is the speed (giving J/kg when v is in m/s). See also kinetic energy per unit mass of projectiles . Potential energy with respect to gravity, close to Earth, per unit mass: gh , where g is the acceleration due to gravity ( standardized as ≈9.8 m/s 2 ) and h is the height above the ...

  6. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    In the SI system (expressing the ratio ⁠ E / m ⁠ in joules per kilogram using the value of c in metres per second): [35] ⁠ E / m ⁠ = c 2 = (299 792 458 m/s) 2 = 89 875 517 873 681 764 J/kg (≈ 9.0 × 10 16 joules per kilogram). So the energy equivalent of one kilogram of mass is 89.9 petajoules; 25.0 billion kilowatt-hours (≈ 25,000 ...

  8. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kgm/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
