Kilojoules
A kilojoule (kJ) is equivalent to one thousand joules (J). It is the energy required when a force of one thousand newtons is applied over a distance of one meter, or one newton applied over a kilometer. In reality, a joule is roughly the energy required to lift a small apple one meter against Earth's gravity.
Foot-pounds
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and U.S. customary systems that is the amount of energy required to exert a force of one pound over a distance of one foot.
