Little Bang Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 How about this then, convert a newton to electron volts? Quote
coldcreation Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Can anyone convert the mass of an electron into electron volts? Do you have any answers for all the questions you pose? Quote
Erasmus00 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Can anyone convert the mass of an electron into electron volts? The mass of an electron is 510,998.903 eV/c^2 -Will Quote
Erasmus00 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 How about this then, convert a newton to electron volts? eV is a unit of energy, Newton is a unit of force. -Will Quote
Little Bang Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 No, I don't have an answer, but there should be an equivalant eV equal to force. Quote
Erasmus00 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 No, I don't have an answer, but there should be an equivalant eV equal to force. Why? It's like saying how much is 1 meter in kilograms. Measuring two very different things. -Will Quote
CraigD Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 How about this then, convert a newton to electron volts?As Erasmus00 notes, Newtons (1 N = 1 kg*(m/s)/s) are a unit of force, electronvolts a unit of energy. So, the appropriate unit to convert to electronvolts is the joule (1 J = 1 (kg*(m/s)/s)*m) 1 joule = 6 241 506 479 963 234 000 electronvolt There are a lot of convenient online unit conversions references.
