Measuring Work & PowerA Joule Is a Unit of WorkA Newton meter (Nm) is also known as a joule. One joule (J) is equal to the amount of work that is exerted when one Newton (N) is exerted to move an object one meter (m).A Watt Is a Unit of PowerPower is measured in units of joules per second, which are also known as watts (w). One thousand watts of power is equal to one kilowatt. Here are some examples of the amount of power required to run different household appliances and tools.2:131 2 34 5 67 8 90 60 W350-500 W750-1100 W10 WEMAIL 50 W1 joule/second (J/s) = 1 watt1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)1 Newton1 meter1 joule1 joule1 Newton1 meterwork = force x distance100 Nm = 10 Newtons x 10 meters© Copyright NewPath Learning.
