What is a source that converts a great deal of nuclear energy into energy you use..{ besides powerplants}

Please help!

If you can , thanks in advance!

Homework Equations

there are none that i know of..

The Attempt at a Solution

I am not sure. I am iffy on these, but are the answers:
a, m/s
b. kg
c. J
d. meters
e. kg
f. i have no clue
g. i haveno clue

f, what is acceleration in terms of other units?

g, All energy is measured in the same units - because energy can be converted from one to another.

Dimensional analysis is your best friend.

Formula for acceleration = change in speed / change in time

Speed is m/s. Time is s.

(m/s) / s
= m/s^2

Thus, the unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

You can apply this to nearly every unit. Some you have to know, such as Newtons or pascals.
