Discover the power of converting kiloelectron-volts to gigatons with our precise keV to GT conversion tool, designed by Newtum to enhance your calculations.
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts (eV). It's commonly used in physics and represents the amount of energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated by an electric potential difference of one volt. In more practical terms, it's a very small unit of energy that's particularly useful in the fields of atomic, nuclear, and particle physics to describe energies of particles and photons.
Definition of GigatonA gigaton (GT) is a unit of mass equivalent to one billion metric tons, or 1,000,000,000,000 kilograms. While it's a standard unit of mass, it's often used in the context of energy to describe the explosive energy of nuclear bombs or the impact energy of asteroids. When used in this energy context, it's typically referring to the TNT equivalent energy released and not the mass itself, hence 1 gigaton of TNT is the energy equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.
| Kiloelectron-volt (keV) | Gigaton (GT) |
|---|---|
| 1 keV | 1.60218e-28 GT |
| 10 keV | 1.60218e-27 GT |
| 100 keV | 1.60218e-26 GT |
| 1,000 keV | 1.60218e-25 GT |
| 10,000 keV | 1.60218e-24 GT |
| 100,000 keV | 1.60218e-23 GT |
| 1,000,000 keV | 1.60218e-22 GT |
| 10,000,000 keV | 1.60218e-21 GT |
| 100,000,000 keV | 1.60218e-20 GT |
| 1,000,000,000 keV | 1.60218e-19 GT |
Example 1:
Convert 1 keV to GT:
1 keV = 1 × 1.60218e-28 GT = 1.60218e-28 GT
Example 2:
Convert 5,000 keV to GT:
5,000 keV = 5,000 × 1.60218e-28 GT = 8.0109e-25 GT
The keV to GT converter is a tool that emerged from the need to understand and quantify energy at vastly different scales. From the small scale of particle physics to the large scale of astrophysics, this tool provides a bridge for scientists and engineers to convert between units of energy that span billions of orders of magnitude.
Unveiling the practical implications of keV to GT conversions, this tool caters to a spectrum of scientific endeavors.
Example 1: Converting 2 keV to GT yields a result of 3.20436e-28 GT.
Example 2: Converting 50,000 keV to GT gives us a conversion figure of 8.0109e-24 GT.
