Kiloton (Metric) [kt]
The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.
In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.
The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one proton and one neutron bound together.
Its rest mass is approximately 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms (about 1875.6 MeV/c²).
The deuteron plays a key role in nuclear physics and fusion reactions.
Summary:
Rest mass ≈ 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Equivalent to about 1875.6 MeV/c²
Nucleus of deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron)
