What are Megaelectron-volt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. It represents one million electron volts, where one electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A Kilocalorie (kcal_th), often simply called a Calorie, is a unit of energy that is commonly used in nutrition. It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
