  2. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    The complete conversion of 1 kg of matter into pure energy would yield the theoretical maximum (E = mc 2) of 89.8 petajoules, which is equivalent to 21.5 megatons of TNT. No such method of total conversion as combining 500 grams of matter with 500 grams of antimatter has yet been achieved.

  3. Cooking weights and measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures

    In the standard system the conversion is that 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches and 1 inch = 2.54 cm, which makes a gallon = 3785.411784 millilitres exactly. For nutritional labeling on food packages in the US, the teaspoon is defined as exactly 5 ml, [ 22 ] giving 1 gallon = 3840 ml exactly.

  4. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    The enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy required to convert one mole of solid into liquid. For example, when melting 1 kg of ice (at 0 °C under a wide range of pressures), 333.55 kJ of energy is absorbed with no temperature change. The heat of solidification (when a substance changes from liquid to solid) is equal and opposite.

  5. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    If a comet with this speed fell to the Earth it would gain another 63 MJ/kg, yielding a total of 2655 MJ/kg with a speed of 72.9 km/s. Since the equator is moving at about 0.5 km/s, the impact speed has an upper limit of 73.4 km/s, giving an upper limit for the specific energy of a comet hitting the Earth of about 2690 MJ/kg.

  6. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The kilogram (also spelled kilogramme [1]) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), having the unit symbol kg. [1] ' Kilogram' means 'one thousand grams ' [ 2 ] and is colloquially abbreviated to kilo .

  7. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    the small calorie (gram-calorie, cal) is 4.184 J exactly. It was originally defined so that the specific heat capacity of liquid water would be 1 cal/(°C⋅g). The grand calorie (kilocalorie, kilogram-calorie, food calorie, kcal, Cal) is 1000 small calories, 4184 J exactly. It was defined so that the specific heat capacity of water would be 1 ...

  8. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    It was originally defined so that the heat capacity of 1 gram of liquid water would be 1 cal/°C. The "grand calorie" (also "kilocalorie", "kilogram-calorie", or "food calorie"; "kcal" or "Cal") is 1000 cal, that is, exactly 4184 J. It was originally defined so that the heat capacity of 1 kg of water would be 1 kcal/°C.
