s −1 ⋅kg −1 Specific activity (symbol a ) is the activity per unit mass of a radionuclide and is a physical property of that radionuclide. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is usually given in units of becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg), but another commonly used unit of specific activity is the curie per gram (Ci/g).
In the metric system, the mass per unit area of all types of paper and paperboard is expressed in terms of grams per square metre (g/m 2).This quantity is commonly called grammage in both English and French, [2] though printers in most English-speaking countries still refer to the "weight" of paper.
The fabric weight is measured in grams. In the metric system, the mass per unit area of all types of textiles is expressed in grams per square metre (g/m 2). The gram (alternative spelling: gramme; SI unit symbol: g) is a metric system unit of mass. A gram is defined as one thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10 −3 kg.
The molar mass constant, usually denoted by M u, is a physical constant defined as one twelfth of the molar mass of carbon-12: M u = M(12 C)/12. [1] The molar mass of an element or compound is its relative atomic mass (atomic weight) or relative molecular mass (molecular weight or formula weight) multiplied by the molar mass constant.
4–5×10 4 J: Energy released by the combustion of 1 gram of gasoline [106] 5×10 4 J: Kinetic energy of 1 gram of matter moving at 10 km/s [107] 10 5 3×10 5 – 15×10 5 J: Kinetic energy of an automobile at highway speeds (1 to 5 tons [108] at 89 km/h or 55 mph) [109] 5×10 5 J Kinetic energy of 1 gram of a meteor hitting Earth [110]
That is, the molar mass of a chemical compound expressed in g/mol or kg/kmol is numerically equal to its average molecular mass expressed in Da. For example, the average mass of one molecule of water is about 18.0153 Da, and the mass of one mole of water is about 18.0153 g.
Potential energy with respect to gravity, close to Earth, per unit mass: gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (standardized as ≈9.8 m/s 2) and h is the height above the reference level (giving J/kg when g is in m/s 2 and h is in m).
One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: g n), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force per kilogram of mass.
