For Felicia*, who has 4 children under 5 years old, it is a case of âthe more the merrier!â âMy husband wants 2 more!â she says.
The difference of a Joule of Work and Joule of Energy is the difference between a scalar and a vector, direction! Energy is a quaternion number consisting of a scalar energy and vector energy. Unfortunately, this fact is not realized by physicists.
(August 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Because energy is defined via work, the SI unit for energy is the same as the unit of work â the joule (J), named in honor of James Prescott Joule and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units.
