Calorie (It)/minute
Calorie per minute (cal/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and energy measurement, with the 'calorie per minute' emerging as a unit to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts like exercise and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Calorie per minute is used in fields such as sports science, physiology, and energy expenditure analysis to measure the rate of caloric energy transfer or consumption over time.
Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).
History/Origin
The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.
Current Use
Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.
