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

Watts is power.

Calories and BTU are energy.


Sorry about the erroneous post. Mainly, I was replying to the nonsense
about Calories being only in the body.

I've only ever seen calories used for food energy values, not for anything else.

For a real eye opener, look up 'arc flash protection ratings'. The
protective equipment is rated in claories/sq cm.

I know someone with a sign outside her house saying "beware of crack flashes". I think that means something somewhat different though.

From what I remember of chemistry, the "calorie" was used quite often in the science. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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".

A calorie was originally a metric BTU, the amount of energy it took to
raise a gram of water 1 degree c.
They had some inflation when we started using it to describe food so
it became the amount of energy to raise a kg of water one degree c.

Yes and they are both called calories, very stupid. Officially they are kilocalories, but they get called calories aswell.

That is a K Calorie

Yup but it underwent a Mexican Peso style revaluation because nobody
wanted to think a can of Coke would be 150,000 calories.

That last one is a kilocalorie, often written as Calorie (capitalized).

No, for power it's the kWh. We don't use BTUs in the UK anymore.

Calories are only for your body.

It's a unit of energy. Where the energy is is irrelevant.

They can measure the Calorie content of food by burning it and measuring
the heat produced. This isn't in anyone's body.

Nobody uses calories outside of the human body. We'd be better using watts everywhere though.

What???

Flanders and Swann on MOT tests:
Our car is getting a bit old, it'll have to be tested soon.
You know they started these tests for 10-year-old cars, they brought it down to six, now five, they'll bring it down to three.
There's even been some talk of having them tested before they leave the factories."
