Discover the simplicity of converting International Table calories to watt-seconds with Newtum's Calorie IT to Watt-second Converter, and satisfy your curiosity about energy equivalents.
A calorie, symbolized as 'cal', is a unit of energy. Specifically, it's the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. It's a small unit by modern standards, and thus kilocalories (1,000 calories) are often used when discussing food energy.
Definition of Watt-secondA watt-second (Ws) is a derived unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to the energy expended by a power of one watt sustained for one second. This unit is also a small measure of energy, often used in the context of electricity and electronics.
| Calorie IT (cal) | Watt-second (Ws) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 4.1868 Ws |
| 5 cal | 20.9340 Ws |
| 10 cal | 41.8680 Ws |
| 20 cal | 83.7360 Ws |
| 50 cal | 209.3400 Ws |
| 100 cal | 418.6800 Ws |
| 200 cal | 837.3600 Ws |
| 500 cal | 2093.4000 Ws |
| 1000 cal | 4186.8000 Ws |
| 5000 cal | 20934.0000 Ws |
Example 1:
Convert 10 cal to Ws:
10 cal = 10 × 4.1868 Ws = 41.8680 Ws
Example 2:
Convert 25 cal to Ws:
25 cal = 25 × 4.1868 Ws = 104.6700 Ws
The Calorie IT to Watt-second Converter has its roots in the need to relate dietary energy (calories) to physical energy (watt-seconds). It serves as a bridge between nutrition science and physics, offering a practical tool for those interested in energy conversion and consumption.
Explore the practicality of the Calorie IT to Watt-second Converter in daily life and industrial applications, setting the stage for diverse energy conversion uses.
Example 1: If you have 15 calories (IT), the conversion to watt-seconds would be: 15 cal × 4.1868 Ws/cal ≈ 62.8020 Ws
Example 2: Converting 100 calories (IT) to watt-seconds: 100 cal × 4.1868 Ws/cal = 418.6800 Ws
