A joule, which is a unit of work, is equal to?
A.a newton times a meter
B.a newton divided by a second
C.a newton times a second
D.a newton divided by a meter

Respuesta :

Explanation :

Joule is the SI unit of energy. Energy is the capacity of a body to do any work. Its SI unit is also joules.

The formula for work done is given as :

[tex]W=Fd[/tex]

The SI unit of force is Newton and it is equal to kilogram meter per second square or kg m/s².

the SI unit of distance is m

So, joule is equivalent to Newton times meter.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " a newton times a meter ".

A joule is equivalent to Newton times a meter, as this unit of work is related to the energy expended by a force of Newton acting at a distance of one meter.

Joule equivalences

This unit used to measure mechanical or thermal energy, corresponds according to the international system of units to the following formula:

  • 1J = 1kg x m²/s²

Therefore, it can be said that one joule corresponds to the energy of acceleration of a mass of 1kg at 1m/s², being equivalent to one newton meter.

The correct alternative is:

A.a newton times a meter
