  2. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The energy required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s 2 through a distance of 1 m. 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 ...

  3. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    For thermochemistry a calorie of 4.184 J is used, but other calories have also been defined, such as the International Steam Table calorie of 4.1868 J. In many regions, food energy is measured in large calories (a large calory is a kilocalory, equal to 1000 calories), sometimes written capitalized as Calories. In the European Union, food energy ...

  4. 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 ...

  8. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    If the amount of substance is measured as a number of moles, one gets the molar heat capacity instead, whose SI unit is joule per kelvin per mole, J⋅mol −1 ⋅K −1. If the amount is taken to be the volume of the sample (as is sometimes done in engineering), one gets the volumetric heat capacity , whose SI unit is joule per kelvin per ...

  9. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time.. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: = =
