Specifically it is the amount of a substance that contains as many elementary entities ( atoms, molecules or ions ) as there are atoms in 0. 012 kilogram ( or 12 grams ) of carbon-12, where the carbon-12 atoms are unbound, at rest and in their ground state.

Of the human body's solid components after drying and burning of organics ( as for example, after cremation ), about a third of the total " mineral " mass remaining, is the approximately one kilogram of calcium that composes the average skeleton ( the remainder being mostly phosphorus and oxygen ).

As used in these contexts the calorie ( unprefixed ) is based on the kilogram whereas the kilocalorie is based on the gram.

That is, the nutritional calorie is the kilogram calorie and the kilocalorie is one thousand gram calories.

The two systems differ only in the scale of two out of the three base units ( centimetre versus metre and gram versus kilogram, respectively ), while the third unit ( second as the unit of time ) is the same in both systems.

The energy density ( joules / kilogram or J / kg ) of dynamite is approximately 7. 5 MJ / kg, compared to 4. 7 MJ / kg of TNT.

According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Dietary Reference Intake for protein is 0. 8 grams per kilogram of body weight for adults.

While < sup > 153 </ sup > Eu is stable, < sup > 151 </ sup > Eu was recently found to be unstable to alpha decay with half-life of, giving about 1 alpha decay per two minutes in every kilogram of natural europium.

* 17. 6 MeV: The average energy released in the fusion of deuterium and tritium to form He-4 ; this is per kilogram of product produced.

The SI unit for specific enthalpy is joule per kilogram.

For comparison, the energy density of TNT is 4. 7 megajoules per kilogram, and the energy density of gasoline is 47. 2 megajoules per kilogram.

One gray of radiation is equal to 1 joule of energy absorbed per kilogram of food material.

* one kilogram is 1000 grams

The LD < sub > 50 </ sub > is usually expressed as the mass of substance administered per unit mass of test subject, typically as milligrams of substance per kilogram of body mass, but stated as nanograms ( suitable for botulinum ), micrograms, milligrams, or grams ( suitable for paracetamol ) per kilogram as toxicity decreases.

The SI unit of mass is the kilogram ( kg ).

The water-based units usually assume one of the older definitions of the kilogram as the weight of a litre of water.

For example, drive electric motors of each Toyota Prius require one kilogram ( 2. 2 pounds ) of neodymium per vehicle.

The prefix kilo -, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand ; one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams ( 1 kg = g ).

One kilogram calorie equals one thousand gram calories.

" For practical purposes though, a metallic reference standard was required, one thousand times more massive, the kilogram.

One mole of sucrose ( sugar ) per kilogram of water raises the boiling point of water by 0. 51 ° C, and one mole of salt per kg raises the boiling point by 1. 02 ° C ; similarly, increasing the number of dissolved particles lowers water's freezing point.

For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9. 8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, about one-sixth as much on the Moon, and very nearly zero when in deep space far away from all bodies imparting gravitational influence.

* The coulomb per kilogram ( C / kg ) is the SI unit of ionizing radiation exposure, and it is the amount of radiation required to create one coulomb of charge of each polarity in one kilogram of matter.

* The gray ( Gy ), which has units of ( joules / kilogram ), is the SI unit of absorbed dose, and it is the amount of radiation required to deposit one joule of energy in one kilogram of any kind of matter.

Other drivers affecting wheat prices include the movement to bio fuels and rising incomes in developing countries, which is causing a shift in eating patterns from predominantly rice to more meat based diets ( a rise in meat production equals a rise in grain consumption — seven kilograms of grain is required to produce one kilogram of beef ).

In the SI system, there are seven fundamental units: kilogram, meter, candela, second, ampere, kelvin, and mole.

A stone semicircle, comprising seven 600 kilogram megaliths, has been discovered in the drowned neolithic village of Atlit Yam in the Mediterranean Sea about 1 kilometre off the shore of the Israeli city of Haifa.

With strong determination each member seven – eight times lifted a piece of pipe ( 18 kilogram ) and placed it to the projective area.

... Is it more moral to kill and consume a whale, without cost to the environment, than to live as a vegetarian in Australia, destroying seven kilograms of irreplaceable soil, ... for each kilogram of bread we consume?

In 1960, at the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures, the SI ( International System ) was adopted, which was based on seven fundamental units: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela.

Starting in the 1880s, and more significantly by the mid-20th century, CGS was gradually superseded internationally for scientific purposes by the MKS ( metre – kilogram – second ) system, which in turn developed into the modern SI standard.

The SI unit of kilogram per cubic metre ( kg / m < sup > 3 </ sup >) and the cgs unit of gram per cubic centimetre ( g / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >) are probably the most common used units for density.

Using the names kilogram, gram, kilogram-force, or gram-force ( or their symbols ) as a unit of force is forbidden in SI ; the unit of force in SI is the newton ( N ).

This even applies for mass, for which the SI base unit ( which is the kilogram, not the gram ) already contains a prefix.

The dimensions assigned to the gravitational constant in the equation above — length cubed, divided by mass, and by time squared ( in SI units, meters cubed per kilogram per second squared )— are those needed to balance the units of measurements in gravitational equations.

Calculations in celestial mechanics can also be carried out using the unit of solar mass rather than the standard SI unit kilogram.

The newton is the SI unit of force ; it is equal to the amount of net force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

In the International System of Units ( SI ), the only prototype remaining in current use is the International Prototype Kilogram, a solid platinum-iridium cylinder kept at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures ( International Bureau of Weights and Measures ) in Sèvres France ( a suburb of Paris ) that by definition is the mass of exactly one kilogram.

Originally defined as " the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre, and at the temperature of melting ice " ( later 4 ° C ), a gram is now defined as one one-thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10 < sup >− 3 </ sup > kg, which itself is defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

The gray and sievert units are both special names for the SI derived units of joules per kilogram ( m < sup > 2 </ sup >/ s < sup > 2 </ sup > if expressed in base units ), though they are not interchangeable.

The SI is an " absolute " metric system with kilogram and meter as base units.

It is equal to the energy deposited per unit mass of medium, which may be measured as joules per kilogram and represented by the equivalent SI unit, gray ( Gy ), or the antiquated CGS units, rad and rep.

The unit of force is the newton ( N ), and mass has the SI unit kilogram ( kg ).
