What are Megaelectron-volt and Poundal-foot

A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron-volts. An electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. In other units, 1 MeV equals 1.60218 x 10^-13 joules.

A poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-poundal system, which is a subset of English units. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one poundal acting through a displacement of one foot. In the International System of Units (SI), one poundal-foot is equivalent to approximately 0.04214011 joules.
