Megaelectron-Volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron-volts, commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to express the energy of particles.
History/Origin
The megaelectron-volt was introduced as a convenient unit for expressing high-energy particles in physics, particularly after the development of particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, replacing the electron-volt for larger energy scales.
Current Use
Today, the MeV is widely used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics to quantify the energy of subatomic particles, nuclear reactions, and cosmic phenomena.
Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
