What is energy?
Energy is the capacity to do work. It comes in many forms, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical, and nuclear energy. Energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy).
What is the SI unit of energy?
The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J).
What is the difference between a calorie (cal) and a Calorie (kcal)?
In physics and chemistry, a small calorie (cal) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. In nutrition, the "calorie" commonly used (often capitalized as Calorie) is actually a kilocalorie (kcal), which is 1000 small calories. So, 1 food Calorie = 1 kcal = 1000 cal.
