Answer : 5.25 Calories is equivalent to 21.966 Joules.

Explanation :

The capacity to do any work is called its energy. Its SI unit is joules. Another unit of energy is joules.

The relation between the calorie and the joule is :

$1\ calorie=4.184\ J$

To convert 5.25 calories to joules we have to use unitary method i.e.

$5.25\ calories=5.25\times 4.184\ J$

So, 5.25 C = 21.966 Joules.

Hence, this is the required solution.

One square meter is equal to ten thousandsquare centimetres?

Zolol [24]

So now, we can say that one square metre is equal to 10000 square centimetres. So to change 460000 square centimetres into square metres, we take our value of 460000. And we divide by 100 squared. This is the same as 460000 divided by 10000, which is 46 square metres.
