Kilograms (kg) and joules (J) are units of different physical properties. Kilograms measure mass, while joules measure energy. You can't convert directly from kilograms to joules without a specific context or equation relating the two units, such as with the equation E=mc^2 for converting mass to energy.
The 'K' in 'KJ' stands for "kilo". That's the multiplier "1,000" .
So 1 KJ = 1,000 joules.
The same 'K' is also found in
-- Kilometer (distance, 1,000 meters)
-- Kph (speed, kilometer per hour)
-- Kilohertz (frequency, 1,000 hertz)
-- Kilopascal (pressure, 1,000 pascals)
-- Kilowatt (power, 1,000 watts)
-- Kilowatt-hour (energy, 1,000 watt-hours)
The calorific value of diesel is around 42.7 Mega Joules per kilogram.
A 150-pound man (68 kg) contains approximately 2.8 x 10^6 Joules of energy, based on the average energy content of the human body being around 10 MJ/kg.
There are 3.6 million joules in one kilowatt-hour.
Momentum does not have the same units as the others. Kinetic energy is measured in joules, potential energy in joules, work in joules, but momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).
The work done in lifting the object is given by the formula: work = force x distance. To find the force, we use the formula: force = mass x gravity. The force needed to lift a 21 kg object is 21 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 (gravity) = 205.8 N. Therefore, the work done is 205.8 N x 7 m = 1440.6 Joules.
The heat of vaporization for mercury is about 59.11 kJ/kg. To convert this to joules/kg, multiply by 1000 to get 59,110 J/kg. Therefore, for 0.06 kg of mercury, the energy released when condensed to a liquid at the same temperature would be 0.06 kg * 59,110 J/kg = 3,546.6 Joules.
Specific latent heat is measured in joules per kilogram (J/kg).
The calorific value of diesel is around 42.7 Mega Joules per kilogram.
2000 joules
The amount of energy present in 1 kg of water is typically around 4,186,000 joules at room temperature. This value represents the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree Celsius.
A 150-pound man (68 kg) contains approximately 2.8 x 10^6 Joules of energy, based on the average energy content of the human body being around 10 MJ/kg.
On average, wood has a heating value of around 16-20 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). This means that a kilogram of wood contains about 16,000-20,000 joules of energy.
A gram of ANFO explosive yields about 6300 Joules of energy. The value is usually expressed as 6.3 MJ/kg.
There are 3.6 million joules in one kilowatt-hour.
The heat of vaporization of mercury is 59.11 kJ/kg. To convert this to joules, we multiply by 1000, which gives us 59,110 J/kg. Therefore, the energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature would be 0.06 kg * 59,110 J/kg = 3,546.6 J.
KE = 1/2 M V2 = 1/2 (2) (20)2 = 400 kg-m2/sec2 = 400 joules
To melt 2 kg of gold, it would require approximately 66,190 Joules per gram. Therefore, for 2 kg of gold, the total energy required would be around 132,380,000 Joules.
