The joule (symbol J), named for James Prescott Joule, is the derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is the energy exerted by a force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one metre. In terms of dimensions:

Definition

One joule is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object through a distance of one metre. Other relationships are:

How many joules of energy are required to raise the temperature of 100 g of gold from 20.0 C to 75 C?
Q. How many joules of energy are required to raise the temperature of 100 g of gold from 20.0 C to 75 C?

A. Use -- Q = m * c * deltaT You know the mass and the change in temperature. Look up specific heat for gold in CRC or your textbook.

How to calculate kinetic energy in joules?
Q. Homework question. "A pendulum with a weight of 2 kg, initially at rest, swings from a position where its gravitational potential energy is 500 joules. How much kinetic energy does it possess at the bottom of its swing?" How do I do this?
Asked by Lily B - Tue Dec 30 16:12:27 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. At the bottom of the swing, the pendulum has zero potential energy; it only has kinetic energy. That is, the original state of 500 joules potential energy has all been converted to kinetic energy of 500 joules.

How would i calculate how many Joules of energy are in a kW-h?
Q. How would i calculate how many Joules of energy are in a kW-h? also, how would i determine how many Joules of electrical energy you can buy for a dollar locally, where the average cost is 7.28 cents per kW-h?
Asked by Tommy D - Tue Nov 18 21:47:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1 joule/sec is 1 watt 1 watt-sec is 1 joule 1 watt hour is: 1 watt hour x 3600 sec/hr = 3600 watt-sec = 3600 joules. 1000 watt hours x 3600 sec/hr = 36000 joules 1 kW-hr = 36000 joules = 3.6 MJ bottom line: 1 kW-hr = 3.6 MJ 7.28 / kW-h x 1 kW-hr / 3.6 MJ = 2 per MJ or 1 MJ / $0.02 or 50 MJ per dollar .
