What are Kilocalorie and Newton

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (th) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It is commonly used in the context of food energy, where it is often referred to simply as a 'calorie'.

Definition of Newton

A newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
