What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a gravitational metric unit of energy, equal to the work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting through a displacement of one meter. It is a non-SI, historical energy unit.

What does a kiloelectron-volt [keV] represent?

A kiloelectron-volt is an energy unit equal to 1,000 electronvolts and is used to express atomic-scale energies such as those of particles and photons in physics.

Why convert kilogram-force meters to keV?

Converting allows translation from mechanical energy used in historical contexts to atomic-scale energy units in advanced physics and materials science, facilitating interdisciplinary analysis.
