How do you convert cubed meters to Gigajoules?

You don't. Cubic meters is a measure of volume; joules or gigajoules is a measure of energy.You don't. Cubic meters is a measure of volume; joules or gigajoules is a measure of energy.You don't. Cubic meters is a measure of volume; joules or gigajoules is a measure of energy.You don't. Cubic meters is a measure of volume; joules or gigajoules is a measure of energy.


How much is 0.95 thousand gigajoules in kilojoules?

1 gigajoule = 1000 megajoules. 1 megajoule = 1000 kilojoules. So 950 gigajoules = 950 x 106 kilojoules


How much energy does coal give out?

21-22 gigajoules per ton


What is 30 J in the G N?

30 Joules is equivalent to 0.03 gigajoules.


Forgetting amps for a second if you produced 8 gigavolts a second could you say you are producing 8 gigajoules a second?

No, you can't just forget about amps. A Joule is a volt coulomb. To calculate coulombs you need amps


Does a 2000MW power station produce 2000MW per day or per year?

The "watt" ... (and also the milliwatt, Kilowatt, Megawatt, Gigawatt) ... are rates or speedsof producing or using energy.One Watt means 1 joule of energy per second.2000 MegaWatts means 2000 Megajoules of energy per second.That's the rate or speed at which it produces energy. Continuously.If it runs for 1 hour at 2000 MW, it produces 7,200 Gigajoules of energy.If it runs for 1 day at 2000MW, it produces 172,800 Gigajoules of energy.and so on.


Why was the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in world war 2 have so much TNT?

The bomb did not have tnt. The atomic power is measurred using tnt was the base. TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT, and a bomb with one kiloton has the blast compared to one ton of tnt.


How much power can a arc reactor provide?

Sorry, don't understand "arc reactor" OK i guess we are talking about the fictional character "tony stark" from iron man. the miniaturised reactor he builds to escape the terrorists gives out 3 gigajoules and the 2nd miniaturised reactor he builds to power his mark 2 armour (the silver one, the one that Obadiah takes) gives out 12


Who are bigger a joule or a megaton?

How many kilojoules in 1 megajoules? The answer is 1000. We assume you are converting between kilojoule and megajoule. You can view more details on each measurement unit: kilojoules or megajoules. The SI derived unit for energy is the joule. 1 joule is equal to 0.001 kilojoules, or 1.0E-6 megajoules


What are the energy changes in a plane taking off?

The chemical energy in the fuel flows to the engines, which combine the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel with oxygen from the air, to produce heat, carbon dioxide and steam. The heat produces kinetic energy in the hot exhaust gases which leave the engine at high speed. The reaction drives the plane forward and it accelerates, gathering kinetic energy. After takeoff the aircraft rises and gathers potential energy as well as kinetic energy. A Boeing 737-800 with a mass of 85 tons flying at 35,000 ft has a potential energy of 9 Gigajoules. Flying at 400 kt its kinetic energy is 1.8 Gj.


How many joules does a liter of oil have?

First off you would need to know the energy value of the oil, that is the amount of energy released during the combustion of a specified amount of the oil, eg kj/mol. The energy value for paraffin is around 46Mj/kg. 46 megajoules per kilogram, or 46million joules. One tonne is one thousand kilograms, so one tonne of paraffin would contain 46 thousand megajoules, or 46 gigajoules (46Gj).


How many kilowatts are needed raise 480 tons of water by 10 degrees centigrade?

First, a kilowatt is a power unit equal to 1000 Joules per second. Raising water temperature, without specifying a timeframe is a question of how much energy is needed. You need to specify how fast you want to raise the temperature to get power kW. A tonne is 1000 kilograms, which is 10^6 grams, so 480 tonnes is 4.8 x 10^8 grams. It takes 1 calorie to raise a gram of water by 1°C, so it takes 10 x (4.8 x 10^8) calories = 4.8 x 10^9 calories. Taking 1 calorie = 4.1868 joules, we have 2.009664 x 10^10 joules, or 20.09664 gigajoules.
