Joule. Joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds

One joule is defined as the amount of energy exerted when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter. One joule is the equivalent of one watt of power radiated or dissipated for one second. In some applications, the British thermal unit (Btu) is used to express energy.

The joule has base units of kg·m²/s² = N·m. A joule is defined as the work done or energy required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one metre

n equation form: work (joules) = force (newtons) x distance (meters), where a joule is the unit of work, as defined in the following paragraph. In practical terms, even a small force can do a lot of work if it is exerted over a long distance.

Multiply watts by seconds to get joules.

A 1 Watt device consumes 1 Joule of energy every 1 second. If you multiply the number of watts by the number of seconds, you'll end up with joules. To find out how much energy a 60W light bulb consumes in 120 seconds, simply multiply (60 watts) x (120 seconds) = 7200 Joules.

When the saw slices wood, the wood exerts a 104-N force on the blade, 0.128 m from the blade’s axis of rotation. If that force i
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

When saw slices wood by exerting a force on the wood , wood also exerts a reaction force on the saw in opposite direction which is equal to the force of action that is 104 N.

So torque exerted by wood on the blade

= force x perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation

= 104 x .128

=13.312 Nm.

Since this torque opposes the movement of blade , it turns the blade slower.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.
