Foe (unit) Foe (unit) A foe is a unit of energy equal to 10 joules or 10 ergs, used to express the large amount of energy released by a supernova. The word is an acronym derived from a part of the pronunciation "ten to the power of fifty-one ergs". It was coined by Gerald E. Brown of Stony Brook University in his work with Hans Bethe, because "it came up often enough in our work". A bethe (B) is equivalent to a "foe". The "bethe" is named after Hans Bethe. It was coined by Steven Weinberg. This unit of measure is convenient
Energy customary unit is the foot pound. Other energy units such as the electronvolt, food calorie or thermodynamic kcal (based on the temperature change of water in a heating process), and BTU are used in specific areas of science and commerce. In classical mechanics, energy is a conceptually and mathematically useful property, as it is a conserved quantity. Several formulations of mechanics have been developed using energy as a core concept. Work, a function of energy, is force times distance. This says that the work (formula_2) is equal to the line integral of the force F along a path "C"; for
