joules are the amount of energy
The letter J in science stands for joules.
James Joules created a method in which work is calculated. work(joules) equals force(newtons) times distance(meters) or j=n times m.
A calorie is about 4.2 joules, therefore a kilocalorie is about 4200 joules. You can multiply by this number.
BTU x 1,055.056 = joules
82.9 joules.

joule (a unit of energy)
The letters spell the word joules. It is a science word dealing with energy.
It is the unit of energy. 1 joules is quantified to energy equivalent to force of 1 Newton act on any object over the length of 1 meter.
56 kilo joules = 56,000 joules
To convert from kilo joules to joules you have divide by 1000 as 1 kilo joule is equal to 1000 joules. E.g. 2 kilo joules equals 2000 joules.
A petajoule is 1015 joules (Quadrillion joules)
4.18400 joules = 1 calorie, so 12.552 joules = 3 calories
It is neither. !!! Calorie is an old-fashioned Imperial measure of Energy. In modern science we use 'Joules'.
