Convert ton of tnt to calorie

Learn how to convert 1 ton of tnt to calorie step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t o n o f t n t) = x (c a l o r i e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (t o n o f t n t) = 4.184 \times 10^{9} (j o u l e) = 4.184 \times 10^{9} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (c a l o r i e) = 4.182 (j o u l e) = 4.182 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t o n o f t n t) = x (c a l o r i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.184 \times 10^{9} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 4.182 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.184 \times 10^{9} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 4.182 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.184 \times 10^{9} \cdot (J) = x \times 4.182 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.184 \times 10^{9} = x \times 4.182

Switch sides

x \times 4.182 = 4.184 \times 10^{9}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.182})

x \times 4.182 \times \frac{1.0}{4.182} = 4.184 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1.0}{4.182}

Cancel

x \times 4.182 \times \frac{1.0}{4.182} = 4.184 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1.0}{4.182}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.184 \times 10^{9}}{4.182}

Solve

x

x \approx 1000478240.1 \approx 1.0005 \times 10^{9}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t o n o f t n t) \approx 1.0005 \times 10^{9} (c a l o r i e)
