No, power and energy are not the same thing. You must multiply power by

Watts is power.

Calories and BTU are energy.

I only remember that in Biology. And it was to work out the calorific value of foods.

The word "gymnasium" comes from the? Ancient Greek "gymnos" (naked) and "zein" (to train).
So literally the word "gymnasium" means a "building for naked exercise".
