The discussion centers on the relationship between joules and Newtons in energy transfer, specifically addressing the erroneous claim that 5.37498 x 10^31 Newtons equates to 5.37498 x 10^37 joules per meter. Participants unanimously agree that the exponents should match in such conversions, highlighting the inaccuracies in the original statement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of reliable sources for learning physics, as the referenced article contains multiple errors and misleading information.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators, and anyone interested in understanding energy transfer and the relationship between different physical units.
https://www.quora.com/Could-the-mas...se-a-change-to-Earths-orbit/answer/Idav-Kelly I am just wondering how it is possible to go up so many exponents like that from Newtons to joules...Orodruin said:Please reference where this statement is taken from.
ok. why?Orodruin said:I suggest paying absolutely no attention to that "answer" whatsoever.
Because it contains a large number of erroneous statements.ReptileBaird said:ok. why?
like the joules not being = to Newtons, but what else?Orodruin said:Because it contains a large number of erroneous statements.
Isn't that enough?ReptileBaird said:like the joules not being = to Newtons, but what else?
so much for a oppterunty to learn things i do not knowSteamKing said:Isn't that enough?
You yourself pointed out the discrepancy in the exponents of the "conversion".
I suspect the author's degree will be one of those "self-awarded" B.S. degrees - all B.S., no substance.
You have lots of opportunities to learn things you do not know. The internet generally is only a good place to do it if you have reliable resources. Physics Forums has a large amount of knowledgeable members and you will often get great answers. We are not a replacement for a textbook though.ReptileBaird said:so much for a oppterunty to learn things i do not know
becuz u guys don't want to help me learn simple things, because you clearly have your own little clique. w/e I am done here, you guys need to learn how to treat peopleOrodruin said:You have lots of opportunities to learn things you do not know.

As pointed out, ignore the article.ReptileBaird said:so much for a oppterunty to learn things i do not know
Thanks to Newton and the SI unit system, this is easy to figure out. Newton's Second Law says the Force equals speed times acceleration.
If this is your question, then yes, the exponents should indeed be equal.ReptileBaird said:5.37498 x 10^31 Newtons is 5.37498 10^37 joules per meter"
How? shouldn't the exponent be the same for the joules?

I honestly have a really hard time to imagine how this was the conclusion you drew from my post ...ReptileBaird said:becuz u guys don't want to help me learn simple things, because you clearly have your own little clique. w/e I am done here, you guys need to learn how to treat people
