What are Kiloelectron-volt and Foot-pound

Definition of Kiloelectron-volt

A Kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 electron volts. It's commonly used in the field of particle physics and represents the amount of energy gained or lost by an electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt. In other contexts, it serves as a unit of energy where precise measurement on a small scale is needed.

Definition of Foot-pound

A Foot-pound (ft·lbf or ft·lb) is a unit of work or energy in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is the work done by a force of one pound-force (lbf) acting through a displacement of one foot (ft) in the direction of the force. This unit is commonly used in the United States for torque as well as energy.

Conversion of Kiloelectron-volt to Foot-pound

1 keV = 7.355 x 10^-6 ft·lbf
1 ft·lbf = 1.35582 x 10^5 keV

Example 1:
convert 100 keV to ft·lbf:
100 keV = 100 x 7.355 x 10^-6 ft·lbf = 7.355 x 10^-4 ft·lbf

Example 2:
convert 500 keV to ft·lbf:
500 keV = 500 x 7.355 x 10^-6 ft·lbf = 3.677 x 10^-3 ft·lbf

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Foot-pound

The concept of converting Kiloelectron-volts to Foot-pounds has its roots in the need to bridge the gap between quantum physics, where energy units like keV are standard, and classical mechanics, which often uses ft·lbf. This conversion facilitates a better understanding and communication across various scientific disciplines and practical applications.
