Ton (Explosives)
A ton (explosives) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the explosive power equivalent to one ton of TNT, typically used in military and demolition contexts.
History/Origin
The ton (explosives) originated as a standardized measure to compare explosive yields, with its use becoming prominent during the 20th century for military and industrial applications, aligning with the adoption of the ton as a unit of mass and energy.
Current Use
Today, the ton (explosives) is primarily used in military, demolition, and mining industries to estimate explosive quantities and effects, often expressed in terms of equivalent TNT mass for safety and planning purposes.
Electron-Volt
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing atomic and subatomic energies, especially in quantum physics and particle physics, replacing larger units like the joule for small-scale energies.
Current Use
The electron-volt is widely used in physics and chemistry to quantify energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, such as in spectroscopy, particle physics, and quantum mechanics, due to its convenience in expressing small energy values.
