What really is a Pascal and a Joule? - Physics Forums
Jan 21, 2015 · The same with Joule's. Don't think of it as Kg*m^2/s^2, think about it as a force being applied over a distance. Joule is energy, and an external force does work on an object by an amount of ##W=F\cdot ds## where F is the force and ds is a small chunk of the path that it travels (a line is 1d).
What is a Joule Second? - Explained Easily! - Physics Forums
Jul 9, 2010 · A joule in mechanical work is 1 N of force applied on an object to move it a distance of 1 m. So a joule persecond is doing the above action in one second. Btw, a "joule per second" and a "joule second" are not the same thing. Jule per second is dividing by seconds, joule second would be multiplying by seconds.
Joules per Coulomb and the Volt - Physics Forums
Mar 2, 2012 · A coulomb is the amount of charge that passes a point through a wire carrying one ampere for one second. Voltage is a measure of electrical potential energy in units of volts or joules per coulomb (energy/charge). Then 1 volt means 1 joule per coulomb; 2 volts mean 2 joules per coulomb, and 5 volts mean 5 joules per coulomb.

How to convert cm^-1 into erg or joules - Physics Forums
Feb 5, 2010 · You cant, because cm^(-1) is not a unit of energy. The base units of energy are m l t^(-2). For example Ergs are grams cm seconds^(-2) and Joules are kg m seconds^(-2).
What is the Definition of 1 Joule and How Does it Relate to Lifting ...
Oct 19, 2006 · Two equivalent definitions of the "Joule" are "the work done by a 1 Newton force in moving an object 1 meter" and "the kinetic energy of a 1 kg object moving at 1 meter per second". Since a Newton is defined as "the force necessary to accelerate a 1 kg object at 1 meter per second per second", it has basic units of kg m/s 2 and so, multiplying ...
Adiabatic cooling vs. Joule-Thomson effect - Physics Forums
Oct 2, 2006 · For helium however, Joule-Thomson inversion temperature is far below room temperature, therefore, when deflated, a helium-filled tire will warm up instead. A's rebuttal : B is wrong. Free expansion (as in Joule expansion experiment) assumes expanding against vacuum , and only predicts that temperature of (ideal) gas will be the same after the ...

Why is Liter*atm equivalent to Joules? - Physics Forums
Feb 17, 2015 · I've taken 1.5 semesters of physics, but I cannot figure this out. The reason I posted this in Chemistry is because I realized that the R constant can be written as 8.314 J/(mol*K) or as .0821 L*atm/(mol*K). So why is the Joule just a …
Convert solar radiation from Joule per cm square to Watt per …
Apr 11, 2019 · I have solar radiation data in the units of Joule per cm^2 (joule per square centimeter) measured hourly. I want to use this data in evapotranspiratin calculation which requires radiation units as Watt per meter squared.
