    Convert Joules
AI Thread Summary
To convert kilojoules (kJ) to joules (J), multiply by 1,000, as 1 kJ equals 1,000 J. For converting milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A), use the conversion factor of 1 A being equal to 1,000 mA. Similarly, megavolts (MV) convert to volts (V) by multiplying by 1,000,000 since 1 MV equals 1,000,000 V. OnlineConversion.com is a useful resource for various unit conversions. Understanding SI unit prefixes like kilo, milli, and mega simplifies these calculations.

how do i convert kJ to joules since that's the standard unit
how do i convert mA to amperes
how do i convert MV to volts

See the "prefixes" section of this entry at wikipedia.org about SI units:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI

k = *1000 ("kilo")
m = 1/1000 ("milli")
M = *1000000 ("Mega")

And I like to multiply by 1 to do my unit conversions, like this:

10mA * (1A/1000mA) = 0.010A

or

57kJ * (1000J/1kJ) = 57000J
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
