a unit of energy equal to 4.1855 joules, originally defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of pure water by 1º C. It has now been superseded by the joule in scientific usage.
A calorie is the amount of energy that needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. The Joule is the SI unit for energy.
The Calorie (the upper case "C" is relevant) is an obsolete pre-SI Metric unit defined as the amount of heat required to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celcius. As this amount depends on the starting temperature, one Calorie (strictly speaking, a kilocalorie) varies in value (approximately4.2 Joules) and has only been specifically defined as a Thermochemical Calorie (4.184 J exactly). Calorie continues in use only as a unit of food energy. Technically, "calorie" (lower case "c") is a gram calorie with a value one-thousanth of a Calorie, however, the distinction is often not made. The word calorie derives from Latin, via French "calor" meaning heat.
I believe it is a calorie.One Calorie.
one Calorie (or one kilocalorie) is equal to 1000 calories
icecream!
one calorie is enough to heat one gram of water by one degree Centigrade.
1.5 gms of protein = 6 calorie 1 gm of fat = 9 calorie 2.5 gm of carbs = 12 Total calorie in one disk = 27 calorie (approx)
"Cals" is an abbreviation for the word "Calories." So there is one "cal" in one calorie.
One calorie is equivalent to approximately 4.184 watts.
One Calorie (capital c) equals one kilocalorie (kcal) equals 1000 calorie.
A calorie is the unit of energy required to raise one gram of water 1 degree Celsius. A kilocalorie, or Calorie, is the equivalent of 1000 calories.
"Calorie" comes to us from Latin "calor", meaning "warmth". A calorie is the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree centigrade.
