  2. Electronvolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronvolt

    An electronvolt is the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt.Hence, it has a value of one volt, which is 1 J/C, multiplied by the elementary charge e = 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C. [2]

  3. Orders of magnitude (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    Kinetic energy of a regulation baseball thrown at the speed of the Oh-My-God particle, itself a cosmic ray proton with the kinetic energy of a baseball thrown at 60 mph (~50 J). [246] 10 28: 3.8×10 28 J: Kinetic energy of the Moon in its orbit around the Earth (counting only its velocity relative to the Earth) [247] [248] 7×10 28 J

  4. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    To escape the atom, the energy of the electron must be increased above its binding energy to the atom. This occurs, for example, with the photoelectric effect, where an incident photon exceeding the atom's ionization energy is absorbed by the electron. [121]: 127–132 The orbital angular momentum of electrons is quantized. Because the electron ...

  5. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The kinetic energy is equal to half the product of the mass and the square of the speed. In formula form: ... one would calculate the kinetic energy of an 80 kg mass ...

  6. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass travelling at 1 m/s, or a 1 kg mass travelling at 1.41 m/s. The energy required to lift an apple up 1 m, assuming the apple has a mass of 101.97 g. The heat required to raise the temperature of 0.239 g of water from 0 °C to 1 °C. [15] The kinetic energy of a 50 kg human moving very slowly (0.2 m/s or 0.72 km/h).

  7. Molecular Hamiltonian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Hamiltonian

    In general, this is not possible with the given nuclear kinetic energy, because it does not separate explicitly the 6 external degrees of freedom (overall translation and rotation) from the 3N − 6 internal degrees of freedom. In fact, the kinetic energy operator here is defined with respect to a space-fixed (SF) frame.

  8. Electron mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mass

    In particle physics, the electron mass (symbol: m e) is the mass of a stationary electron, also known as the invariant mass of the electron. It is one of the fundamental constants of physics . It has a value of about 9.109 × 10 −31 kilograms or about 5.486 × 10 −4 daltons , which has an energy-equivalent of about 8.187 × 10 −14 joules ...

  9. Equipartition theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem

    The (Newtonian) kinetic energy of a particle of mass m, velocity v is given by = | | = (+ +), where v x, v y and v z are the Cartesian components of the velocity v.Here, H is short for Hamiltonian, and used henceforth as a symbol for energy because the Hamiltonian formalism plays a central role in the most general form of the equipartition theorem.
