Equation Values

[CNBA3]

I see when writing the equations for each calculation there are values such as (kg^3) and (m/s), but I wish to ask, where are the values to use when making equations such as Meteor Calculation or any other equations like that, what are the standard values for each?

Standard values for all calculations are generally just well-fitting Metric System values. For example, meters per second, or m/s, is generally used for speed. Joules is a measure of work and is universal for energy. For mass, kilogram is standard. For volume, cubic centimeters, cubic meters, or cubic kilometers can be valid depending on the situation.

Standard values generally very; some may very based on how big the number is, but the most common units are kilograms for mass, m/s for velocity, cm^3 or cc for volume, and Joules for energy output.

The Meteor calculator iirc uses Kilotons of TNT for energy output; which is around 4.184 trillion joules.

Hey Assaltwaffle, looks like you got promoted, congrats, and as for the values, just to avoid confusion, what would the general values be if one where to actually write or type the equations/formulas instead of using calc websites?

 

[Assaltwaffle]

The standards for them before conversion, which varies by equation. For kinetic energy the standard for mass is kilograms and speed is meters per second.
