	James Prescott Joule -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The English physicist James Prescott Joule discovered in 1840 that the amount of heat per second that develops in a wire carrying a current is proportional to the electrical resistance of the wire and the square of the current.
		In electrical terms, the joule equals one watt-second—i.e., the energy released in one second by a current...
		Scottish poet and journalist James Montgomery is best remembered for his hymns and versified renderings of the Psalms, which unite fervor and insight in simple verse.

	William Thomson, Lord Kelvin
		This idea claimed that heat and motion were combined, an idea that is now taken as second nature - where there's motion there's heat and vice versa, in some form or another - but at that time when Joule first introduced it, interconvertability pretty much cut across the grain of scientific belief.
		This work contained his ideas and version of the second law of thermodynamics as well as recognition of James Joule's idea of the mechanical equivalent of heat.
		In 1851 he published the paper, "On the Dynamical Theory of Heat", and in the same year was elected to the Royal Society.

		An event said to consume a number of Newtons over a distance, with respect to change in position, by definition consumes that energy at a rate measured in Newtons per second, or at a rate of Newtons per metre per second.
		In polarised stroboscopic monochromatic light, the image of the bullet and the drag effect can be statically displayed for any point along the trajectory, including the explosive terminal impact, when solid matter acts like a liquid, forming a crater.
		Rather than splattering on the surface, the lead ball with its much higher terminal velocity penetrates and displaces the surface, resulting in the production of a crater and a greater number of chemical reactions.

	Re: why does your hands burn when you slide down a rope really fast?
		Since that is in one second the power is 588 Watts (a Watt is just one Joule per second).
		If your mass is 60 kg then your weight is 60 x 9.8 (where 9.8 meters per second per second is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the earth) 588 Newtons.
		Okay, you can look in almost any physics textbook and discover that the "Joule equivalent of heat" is about 4.2 Joules/cal. That means that for every 4.2 Joules of work you do on a system it obtains one calorie of heat energy.

		Newton's 3rd Law: Force comes in pairs, when an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
		Newton's 2nd Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the imposed force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
		Newton's 1st Law: If an object is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will continue at rest or constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted upon by a net external force.

	The second law of thermodynamics
		Thus we all have an instinctive understanding of the nature of the second law, even if we have difficulty with some of its implications.
		A joule of electrical energy is totally available to do work, but a joule of heat is only available insofar as there is a temperature difference.
		Ignoring the laws of thermodynamics results in all sorts of misunderstandings and misrepresentations.

	Joule and the Conservation of Energy
		James Joule was born in 1818, the second son of a prosperous brewer in Manchester, England.
		Joule also calculated that the water just beyond the bottom of a waterfall will be one degree Fahrenheit warmer than the water at the top for every 800 feet of drop, approximately, the kinetic energy turning to heat as the water crashed into rocks at the bottom.
		Joule’s work was so impressive that his provincial origins were forgiven, and by the late 1840’s he was regularly presenting papers to the British Association and the Royal Society.

	James Prescott Joule Biography / Biography of James Prescott Joule Main Biography
		On Dec. 24, 1818, James Joule was born at Salford near Manchester, the second of the five children of a wealthy brewery owner.
		The English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) proved that mechanical and thermal energies are interconvertible on a fixed basis, and thus he established the great principle of conservation of energy.
		In the course of his efficiency experiments Joule made his first discovery--now known as Joule's law: the heating of a conductor depends upon its resistance and the square of the current passing through it.
