What makes up the unit joules?​

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.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = 7 x 10⁴ Pa

force on  a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean due to atmosphere  = pressure x area

= 7 x 10⁴ x 3.14 x 2 x 2

= 87.92 x 10⁴ N

b )

weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of methane with radius 2.00 m

Pressure x area

height x density x acceleration of gravity x π r²

= 10 x 415 x 6.2 x 3.14 x 2 x 2

=323168.8 N

c ) Pressure at a depth of 10 m

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to liquid column

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2 ( hρg)

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2

(7 + 2.57 )x 10⁴ Pa

9.57 x 10⁴ Pa

1. The gravitational force acting on a falling body and its weight is constant. But the law of universal gravitation tells us th
vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
