What are Kilocalorie and Newton

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a Calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 calories. It is widely used to measure the energy content in food. The kilocalorie is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in scientific fields such as chemistry and biology. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This unit is pivotal in understanding energy balance and metabolic processes in living organisms.

Definition of Newton

The Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit plays a crucial role in physics and engineering, providing a standard measure for force. Newton's laws of motion, which describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it, heavily rely on this unit.
