What are Kilogram-force and Attojoule

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the surface of the Earth. It is equivalent to 9.80665 newtons, the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Kilogram-force is sometimes used in engineering and physics to measure force without converting to newtons.

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy in the metric system. It is a derived unit of energy, work, or amount of heat. One attojoule is equal to one quintillionth of a joule (10^-18 joule). It is a very small unit of energy that is often used in the fields of physics and chemistry to measure tiny amounts of energy released or absorbed at the atomic or molecular scale.
