Kilocalorie (It)

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.

History/Origin

The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a measure of heat energy, primarily used in nutrition and thermodynamics. It became standard in dietary contexts to quantify food energy intake.

Current Use

Today, the kilocalorie is widely used in nutrition to express the energy content of foods and beverages, and in scientific contexts related to energy measurement in biological and physical systems.


Dyne Centimeter

A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.

History/Origin

The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.

Current Use

Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
