Energy

MHI 101 Energy

Units: JOULE (J) is a commonly used unit of energy.  The BTU is also an unit of energy.    Another typical unit is KWhr (Kilo-Watt-Hour). 1000J = 1kJ (KiloJoule) = 0.9485 BTU=0.0002778 kWhr The Watt (W) is a unit for power i.e. the energy used (or supplied) per unit time.  1 J/s (Joule per second) = 1 W (Watt) Power is sometimes expressed in other units like BTU/hr or Horsepower (HP) Power-Units Conversion 1kW (KiloWatt) = 3414 BTU/hr  0.746kW= 1HP

THEORETICAL PHYSICS

WHY THEORETICAL PHYSICS?

Foundational theoretical physics is a cornerstone of modern quantitative science, on which so much else rests. It is perhaps the highest-impact, lowest-cost area of basic research. The field advances our fundamental understanding of the universe, with its powerful ideas seeding the technologies of tomorrow. Solar cells, computers, wireless technologies, diagnostic imaging – they are all rooted in breakthroughs made by theoretical physicists.
