Units of energy

What is the relationship between Joules, Kilojoules, and calories?

[Sammy Liu]

Joules, kilojoules, and calories are all different unites for measuring energy. One calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules, and one kilojoule is just 1000 joules.

Hope this helps!

To add on to those relationships, 1 joule is equal to 0.24 calories.

A kilajoule is 1000 joules and one calorie is I think 0.004 kilajoules

1kJ = 1000J
4.184J = 1 calorie

They are all units of energy and can be converted amongst each other.

Hello! 1kJ is equal to 1000 J since it has the "kilo-" in front of it. In relation to calories, 4.184 J is equal to 1 calorie. Hope this helps!

Hi! I agree with all of the above statements of conversion, additionally, joules is the SI unit, so we should use J in calculations and other equations for the most part.

1 kilojoule is 1000 joules and 1 joule is equal to .24 calorie.

One Joule is 0.24 calories, and 1 kiloJoule is 1000 Joules. Joules, kilojoules, and calories can all be used to measure energy.

[Sean Sanders 1E]

All three of these units measure energy and you can easily convert between all three of them. 1 kilojoule equals 1000 joules and 1 calorie is equal to 4.184 joules.

Adding onto this, which units are standard for which measurements? I know R changes depending on pressure units as well.

[Tsii 2H]

All of those are units of energy, one kilojoule is equal to 1000 joules, while one calorie is equal to 4.184 joules I believe.
