More Important Variables Energy Kinetic Energy m = mass v = velocity Units of energy are Joules in MKS Heat Heat = Q = different from mechanical energy Friction can convert kinetic energy to heat Pressure F = force A = area The MKS unit of force is Newtons. The area is measured in square meters. Light-related c = speed = wavelength v = the frequency The speed is measured in meters per second. The wavelength is measured in meters. The frequency is measured in reciprocal seconds.
