Joule = watt is also the unit of "power" When is energy converted? Is it
converted? When I place a bottle of beer in the freezer, don't I extract the
heat energy, and warm up the room? Yet the bottle bursts with enormous force
... end quote.
1 Joule = 1 WattSecond. Don't know the answer to the beer bottle though. Use
vodker instead -- it doesn't freeze and the problem(s!) go(es) away!
Concerning bouyancy and why does warm air with included water vapour rise and
where does the energy come from. How about this -- the energy from the Sun
heats the air/water in contact with the ground etc which expands (I'd guess it
does work pushing the cooler air aside) and the -- relatively -- unheated air
above being heavier just sinks due to gravity, the energy coming from the
higher potential due to altitude. A bit like tying a baloon to a fixed source
of compressed air at the bottom of a tank of water. Blow it up, stop when it's
less than full (depth matters here) then when everything stops moving, release
it. The water has more potential energy than the baloon due to both density and
height and it just bullies that little old baloon out of the way and occupies
the volume vacated. Do I get a gold star?
