definition 1 joule = 10⁷ erg
Answers
Answer:
The erg is the cgs unit of work/energy and Joule is MKS/ SI unit of the same. By definition, 1 erg is the work done when a force of one dyne produces a displacement of 1 cm in an object in the direction of the force. ... 1 Joule = 1 Newton × 1 m displacement = 10⁵ dyne × 100 cm displacement = 10⁷ ergs. 1 Joule = 10⁷ ergs.
Answer:
your answer is right below
Explanation:
Both Joule and erg are units of work/energy. The erg is the cgs unit of work/energy and Joule is MKS/ SI unit of the same.
By definition, 1 erg is the work done when a force of one dyne produces a displacement of 1 cm in an object in the direction of the force.
And one dyne is that force which produces an acceleration of 1 cm/s² in an object of 1 gm.
So one erg = 1 gm × 1 cm/s² × 1 cm.
By definition, one Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton in producing a displacement of 1 metre in an object in the direction of the force.
One Newton in turn is that force which produces in an object of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².
So 1 Newton = 1 kg × 1 m/s² = 1000 gm × 100 cm/s² = 10⁵ dyne.
1 Joule = 1 Newton × 1 m displacement = 10⁵ dyne × 100 cm displacement = 10⁷ ergs.
1 Joule = 10⁷ ergs. Hope this answer helps you!! please mark me brainliest!!!
