What are Kilocalorie and Watt-second

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (th) is a unit of energy commonly used in nutrition to measure the energy content of food. One kilocalorie is equivalent to 1,000 calories, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure.

Definition of Watt-second

A watt-second (Ws) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to the energy expended by a power of one watt flowing for one second. This unit is often used in physics and engineering to measure small amounts of work or energy.
