Answer:

Both erg and Joule are units of Energy in the CGS and S.I system respectively.

Joule and erg can also be written as (kg m2/s2) and (g cm2/s2) respectively.

Explanation:

1 Joule = 107 erg ⇒ 107 kg m2/s2.

==> One erg of energy is the amount of work done when one dyne of force acts through a distance of one centimeter.

==> One Joule of energy is the amount of work done when one Newton of force (100,000 dynes) acts through a distance of one meter (100 centimeters).

==> That makes one Joule the same amount of energy as 10 million (10⁷) dynes.

When used as an energy source in a nuclear power plant, uranium is burned in a similar way as one would burn wood or coal for en

zavuch27 [327]

False because nuclear fission is used on uranium in nuclear power station and this reaction is continuous since a neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it. Then 2-3 neutrons are released which continues the cycle or hitting other uranium atoms. If this reaction isn't contained, it could get out of control and become a nuclear bomb. So it can't be burned like wood nor coal.
