Discover Newtum's Ton to keV converter tool, your go-to solution for translating the energy of ton explosives into kiloelectron-volts. Engage with precision and simplicity in every conversion.
A ton, in the context of explosives, is a unit of energy equal to the explosive energy released by one ton of TNT. This measurement, often referred to as a 'ton of TNT,' is used to quantify the energy output in explosions or explosive devices. The exact value is typically around 4.184 gigajoules.
Definition of Kiloelectron-voltA kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is a small unit of energy commonly used in the field of physics and chemistry to describe the energy levels of electrons in an atom or the energy of photons. One keV is equal to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules.
| Ton of TNT | Kiloelectron-volt (keV) |
|---|---|
| 0.0001 ton | 4.184 × 10^15 keV |
| 0.001 ton | 4.184 × 10^16 keV |
| 0.01 ton | 4.184 × 10^17 keV |
| 0.1 ton | 4.184 × 10^18 keV |
| 1 ton | 4.184 × 10^19 keV |
| 10 ton | 4.184 × 10^20 keV |
| 100 ton | 4.184 × 10^21 keV |
| 1000 ton | 4.184 × 10^22 keV |
| 10000 ton | 4.184 × 10^23 keV |
| 100000 ton | 4.184 × 10^24 keV |
Example 1:
Convert 0.001 ton of TNT to keV:
0.001 ton TNT = 0.001 × 4.184 × 10^16 keV = 4.184 × 10^13 keV
Example 2:
Convert 0.1 ton of TNT to keV:
0.1 ton TNT = 0.1 × 4.184 × 10^19 keV = 4.184 × 10^18 keV
The Ton to keV converter has roots in the need to understand the energy output of explosives in terms of physics. This tool allows users to translate the explosive power measured in tons of TNT into the energy unit kiloelectron-volts, providing a bridge between practical and theoretical energy measurements.
