A 'Ton of explosives' is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the energy released by explosives. One ton of explosives equates to the energy released by detonating one ton (2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms) of trinitrotoluene (TNT). It's a non-SI unit that quantifies large amounts of energy, often used in relation to nuclear bombs or large-scale explosive events.
Definition of Calorie thThe 'Calorie with a lowercase c' (cal), also known as the 'small calorie', is a unit of energy. It originates from the field of chemistry, and one cal is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It's a smaller unit compared to the 'Calorie with an uppercase C' (kcal) used in nutrition.
| Ton of Explosives | Calories (cal) |
