K : Sound and Vibration Terms and Definitions ...
k : kilo an SI prefix = 1000
kg : kilogram, the base unit of mass in the SI and MKS versions of the metric system. The kilogram is defined as the mass of the standard kilogram.
1 kg = 1000 g ~ 2.204 pounds
kg·m : kilogram metre
1 : a metric unit of work or energy equal to 9.806 65 joules (J).
2 : a metric unit of torque equal to 9.806 65 newton metres (N·m).
kg·m/s : kilogram metre per second = momentum.
kg·m/s² : kilogram metre per second-squared = force
kg·m² : kilogram metre-squared = moment of inertia
kg·m²/s² : kilogram metre-squared per second-squared = energy or work.
kg·m²/s3 : kilogram metre-squared per second-cubed = power.
kg/m/s² : kilogram per metre per second-squared, = pressure
See also the pascal.
kg/m3 : kilogram per metre-cubed = density • mass density
kg/s : kilogram per second = mass flow rate
kHz : kilohertz 1 kHz = 1000 Hz = 1000 Hertz.
kilo (k) an SI prefix = 103 • see other SI units
kilohertz (kHz) : 1000 Hz.
kilopascal (kPa), a common metric unit of pressure.
1 kilopascal = 1000 pascals (Pa) = 10 millibars (mb)
Kinetic Energy, all moving things have kinetic energy. It is energy possessed by an object due to its motion or movement, measured in joules.
