Discover the ease of converting energy from calories to millijoules using Calorie IT to Millijoule Converter. Curated by Newtum, this tool ensures accurate conversions for your energy measurement needs.
A calorie, specifically a kilogram calorie or Calorie (capital C), is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. One Calorie is equivalent to 4.184 kilojoules.
Definition of MillijouleA millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one thousandth of a joule, the SI unit of energy. One millijoule is the energy required to move an object by one millimeter against a force of one newton.
| Calorie IT (cal) | Millijoule (mJ) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 4.1868 mJ |
| 10 cal | 41.868 mJ |
| 50 cal | 209.34 mJ |
| 100 cal | 418.68 mJ |
| 200 cal | 837.36 mJ |
| 500 cal | 2093.4 mJ |
| 1000 cal | 4186.8 mJ |
| 1500 cal | 6280.2 mJ |
| 2000 cal | 8373.6 mJ |
| 5000 cal | 20934 mJ |
1 cal = 4.1868 mJ
10 cal = 41.868 mJ
Example 1:
Convert 5 cal to mJ:
5 cal = 5 × 4.1868 mJ = 20.934 mJ
Example 2:
Convert 150 cal to mJ:
150 cal = 150 × 4.1868 mJ = 628.02 mJ
A brief history of the Calorie IT to Millijoule Converter reflects the evolution of measuring energy. Initially, calories were used predominantly in nutritional contexts, while joules became the standard in physics. Nowadays, converting between these units is essential for scientists, dieticians, and professionals across various fields to compare and apply energy measures effectively.
Uncover the significance of converting calories to millijoules and how this tool facilitates crucial calculations in various real-life applications.
Example 1:
To convert 75 calories to millijoules:
75 cal = 75 × 4.1868 mJ = 313.96 mJ
Example 2:
To convert 250 calories to millijoules:
250 cal = 250 × 4.1868 mJ = 1046.7 mJ
