Kilocalorie (Th)

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.

History/Origin

The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a unit to quantify heat energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics. It was widely adopted in the early 20th century for dietary energy measurement.

Current Use

Today, the kilocalorie is primarily used in nutrition to express the energy content of food and drinks, although it is often simply called a 'calorie' in everyday language.


Newton Meter

A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.

History/Origin

The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.

Current Use

It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
