The methods of standardization or calibration employed have much in common even in the cases that appear most diverse.
The joule (/ËdÊuËl/), symbol J, is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred (or work done) to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or NÂ·m).
Here is the equation for calculating kinetic energy (KE): How to Measure Kinetic Energy. The standard unit for kinetic energy is the joule (J). The joule is the standard unit for energy in general. Other units for energy include the newton-meter (Nm) and the kilogram meter squared over seconds squared (kg m 2 /s 2).
