cal = calorie or the CGS unit of heat energy. This calorie (also called a gram calorie or small calorie) is the amount of heat required at a pressure of one atmosphere to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

cm/s = centimeters per second

cal-calorie: A unit of energy such as joules, watt-hour, and Newton-metres. Used to measure the quantity of energy gained from food.

cal=Energy

cm/s-centimeter per second: unit of measurement for speed such as meters per second and miles per hour. Used for calculations of speed that require precision.

cm/s=Speed
