I ask you!
What units make up a calorie? Like a Newton is a kilogram meter per second; what is a calorie in those terms? I can't find it or figure it...

 

[Arcadio]

calorie is a basic unit. I think.

I was going to say this but I instead typed the 2nd thing to come into my head.

Calorie is definitely not a basic unit.
Thanks chuckywang! That helps me out a TON.

I think its the amount of energy needed to heat one SOMETHING of water 1 degree C

Yeah OOBradm, it is, but I specifically needed to know the units going into it.

1 kcal = 4186.8 J = 426.9 kp.m = 1.163 10-3 kWh = 3.088 ft.lbf = 3.9683 Btu = 1000 cal
