Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is:
where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.
The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.
Substitute the values into the formula.
Multiply the first two numbers.
- 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
- If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
- 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N
Multiply.
- 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
- 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
- Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>
Answer:
Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units
Explanation:
1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (.
The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).
However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
