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.
Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
