Looking for a quick kt to mJ conversion? Our Kiloton to Millijoule Converter is the tool you need. Developed by Newtum, it's designed to provide accurate conversions, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
A kiloton is a unit of measure equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT. It's often used in the context of nuclear weapons to describe their energy output. One kiloton is equal to 4.184 terajoules of energy, representing a significant explosive force.
Definition of MillijouleA millijoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one-thousandth of a joule. It's a measure of work done by a force of one millinewton acting over a distance of one meter. Millijoules are commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to express small amounts of energy.
| Kiloton (kt) | Millijoule (mJ) |
|---|---|
| 0.001 kt | 4.184e+9 mJ |
| 0.01 kt | 4.184e+10 mJ |
| 0.1 kt | 4.184e+11 mJ |
| 1 kt | 4.184e+12 mJ |
| 10 kt | 4.184e+13 mJ |
| 100 kt | 4.184e+14 mJ |
| 1,000 kt | 4.184e+15 mJ |
| 10,000 kt | 4.184e+16 mJ |
| 100,000 kt | 4.184e+17 mJ |
| 1,000,000 kt | 4.184e+18 mJ |
1 kt = 4.184e+12 mJ
1 mJ = 2.39e-13 kt
Example 1:
convert 2 kt to mJ:
2 kt = 2 × 4.184e+12 mJ = 8.368e+12 mJ
Example 2:
convert 0.5 kt to mJ:
0.5 kt = 0.5 × 4.184e+12 mJ = 2.092e+12 mJ
The concept of converting kilotons to millijoules originated from the need to quantify energy in different scales, particularly in relation to the energy released by explosives or nuclear reactions. Over time, this conversion has become a standard in scientific calculations, allowing for precise energy comparisons.
Discover how our Kiloton to Millijoule Converter brings practicality to various fields, simplifying complex energy conversions with ease.
Example Conversion 1:
For 3 kilotons:
3 kt = 3 × 4.184e+12 mJ = 1.2552e+13 mJ
