The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.
The British imperial units and U.S. customary units for both energy and work include the foot-pound force (1.3558 J), the British thermal unit (BTU) which has various values in the region of 1055 J, the horsepower-hour (2.6845 MJ), and the gasoline gallon equivalent (about 120 MJ). Log-base-10 of the ratios between various measures of energy
E / m = c 2 = (299 792 458 m/s) 2 = 89 875 517 873 681 764 J/kg (≈ 9.0 × 10 16 joules per kilogram). So the energy equivalent of one kilogram of mass is 89.9 petajoules; 25.0 billion kilowatt-hours (≈ 25,000 GW·h) 21.5 trillion kilocalories (≈ 21 Pcal) [note 4] 85.2 trillion BTUs [note 4] 0.0852 quads or the energy released by ...
Systems of measure either define mass and derive a force unit or define a base force and derive a mass unit [1] (cf. poundal, a derived unit of force in a mass-based system). A slug is defined as a mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s 2 when a net force of one pound (lbf) is exerted on it. [2]
Current (2019): The kilogram is defined by setting the Planck constant h exactly to 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 J⋅s (J = kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2), given the definitions of the metre and the second. [7] Then the formula would be kg = h / 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 ⋅m 2 ⋅s −1 ampere: Prior (1881): A tenth of the electromagnetic CGS unit of ...
The solar flux unit is a unit of spectral irradiance equal to 10 −22 W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1 (100 yW⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1). The nox (nx) is a unit of illuminance equal to 1 millilux (1 mlx). The nit (nt) is a unit of luminance equal to one candela per metre squared (1 cd⋅m −2). The lambert (L) is a unit of luminance equal to 10 4 /π cd⋅m ...
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] The word "kilogram" is formed from the combination of the metric prefix kilo- (meaning one thousand) and gram ; [ 2 ] it is colloquially shortened to " kilo " (plural "kilos").
