What else can I help you with?
If food is burned to determine calorie content how is the calorie content of liquids measured?
They are de-hydrated first
Is calorie a common unit of force?
No, a calorie is a unit of energy or heat. Force is typically measured in units such as newtons (N) or pounds (lb).
How is energy in food measured?
The energy in food is measured in kilo calories it is abbr. by CAL one calorie is abbr. cal. The case is the key.
Is thermal energy measured in Celsius?
No. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius. Thermal energy, which causes temperature change, is measured in calories or british thermal units. A calorie, not a food calorie, is the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree celsius. 252 calories = 1 btu. 1 food calorie is actually equivalent to 1000 calories of heat.
What word means the unit for the amount of energy released when nutrients are broken down?
Food energy is measured in Calories. A Food Calorie is 1 Kilojoule, or 1,000 Science Calories.
The energy stored in food is measured in units called?
Calories. Actually the unit called Calorie in food energy is the Kilocalorie, ie 1000 calories.
What is energy measured by?
Energy is measured in Joules in the SI system. Thermal energy can be measured in calories (1 calorie = 4.2 Joules) or BTU. In traditional units, energy is in ft.lbforce! energy is measured in calories and use to be measured in joules
How can the efficiency of a food item be measured in terms of watts per calorie?
The efficiency of a food item can be measured in terms of watts per calorie by calculating the amount of energy input (in watts) needed to produce one calorie of food output. This measurement helps determine how much energy is required to produce a certain amount of food, providing insight into the overall efficiency of the food production process.
In what unit is work measured?
Work is measured in several units. 1.SI Unit is Joule 2. CGS unit is erg 1Joule =10000000erg 3. Another unit in common use is Calorie 1 Calorie=4.18Joules. The unit that work is measured in is joule which is expended by a force of one newton.
What is heat measured by?
The energy unit is the Joule, J in the International System of units;Calorie is also an energy unit;British Thermal units, BMU.1 BTU = 1055 J1 calorie = 4.18 J
Show the relation between joule and calorie?
A calorie equals approximately 4.18 joules. To convert calories to joules, multiply by 4.18 To convert joules to calories, divide by 4.18
What is heat typically measured in?
The word "heat" as used in physics refers to heat energy, so it is logically measured in units of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule. Heat energy is sometimes still measured in the old-fashioned unit "calorie" instead.
