What are Foot and Kilojoule

Definition of Foot

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 12 inches or one-third of a yard. The foot has been used as a unit of measurement since ancient times, with its length varying from region to region. In the modern era, the foot is standardized to be exactly 0.3048 meters. This unit is commonly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for various applications, including construction, height measurement, and sports.

Definition of Kilojoule

A kilojoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one thousand joules. It is commonly used to measure energy in contexts like nutrition, physics, and engineering. One kilojoule represents the amount of energy required to move a one-kilogram object a distance of one meter using a force of one newton. In dietary terms, it is often used to quantify the energy content in food, replacing calories in many countries. The kilojoule is a versatile unit, applicable in various scientific and practical scenarios.
