No, the calorie is an older unit. The SI unit is the Joule.
Per what kind of unit? A common unit is pressure: force per unit area.
The recommended unit for any type of energy is, of course, the joule. The older unit, calorie, is still often used for food. If spelled with a capital "C", "Calorie", it usually means a kilocalorie.
A newton of force is the unit kilogram multiplied by the unit meters per second. It is the most common measurement of force, and is close to the weight of an apple. :)
The official (SI) unit of energy is the joule. Other common units include the calorie, the BTU, the electron-volt.

The most common units of heat are the Calorie, Joule and BTU (British thermal unit) heat is a form of energy.
The Calorie.
The official (SI) unit of energy is the joule. Other common units include the calorie, the BTU, the electron-volt.
The most common unit for heat is a calorie. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree. this should not be confused with the word calorie used to measure food intake - that is actually the kilocalorie. Units of heat include BTU (British Thermal Unit), calorie, and therm.
"Calorie" (with a capital "C") is common notation for a "kilocalorie" which equals 1000 calories (with a lowercase "c"). Since "calories" are too small a unit of measurement, nutrition labels give caloric content in "Calories".
The recommended unit for any type of energy is, of course, the joule. The older unit, calorie, is still often used for food. If spelled with a capital "C", "Calorie", it usually means a kilocalorie.
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.
The most common unit of energy in Biology is calories. A calorie is a unit of energy, require to raise 1 kilogram of water to 4.1868 joules.
A newton of force is the unit kilogram multiplied by the unit meters per second. It is the most common measurement of force, and is close to the weight of an apple. :)
The difference between a calorie and a Calorie is calorie is a smaller unit than Calorie and it takes 1000 calorie's to make a Calorie. The Calorie (kilocalorie, kcal) is 1000 calories - a more useful unit and widely used.
