Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
Calorie (It)
The calorie (cal) is a unit of energy traditionally used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The calorie was originally defined in the 19th century as a unit of heat energy in thermodynamics. It has historically been used in nutrition and physics, but has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts. The 'small calorie' (cal) is distinct from the 'large calorie' (kcal), which is commonly used in food energy labeling.
Current Use
Today, the calorie is primarily used in nutrition to measure the energy content of foods and beverages, although the SI unit of energy, the joule, is increasingly preferred in scientific and technical fields.
