A Joule is the unit of energy or work in the SI system. It is defined as the work done in moving 1 meter against a force of 1 Newton. Other relations are that 1 Joule/sec = 1 watt, 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules, 1 BTU = 1055 Joules.
It takes 1 joule of energy to push a force of 1 newton through a distance of 1 meter.
That's like pushing a force of about 12 ounces through a distance of 1 foot.
Burning a 100-watt light bulb for 1 minute uses 6,000 joules of electrical energy.
Here's a little factoid guaranteed to blow your mind:
Each Calorie ('food' Calorie, or 'large' Calorie) of energy that your body is able to
squeeze out of the food you eat is equivalent to almost 4,200 joules !
A unit of energy equal to the work done when a force of one newton acts through a distance of one meter.

this helped me answer the question alot =D
Joule is a solid rock the comes from caves and below the ground . they also shine and sometimes see throw
1 Watt = 1 Joule / 1 sec
Essentially, watts are how many joules you consume in a second.

a joule is equal to a neton/metre
joules
joules are the amount of energy
A calorie is about 4.2 joules, therefore a kilocalorie is about 4200 joules. You can multiply by this number.
BTU x 1,055.056 = joules
82.9 joules.
1800 joules / 1 minute = 1,800 joules / 60 seconds = 30 joules per second = 30 watts.
56 kilo joules = 56,000 joules
To convert from kilo joules to joules you have divide by 1000 as 1 kilo joule is equal to 1000 joules. E.g. 2 kilo joules equals 2000 joules.
A petajoule is 1015 joules (Quadrillion joules)
4.18400 joules = 1 calorie, so 12.552 joules = 3 calories
148 calories is 619.6 joules. Since one calorie = 4.18 joules then you multiply that number by 148 and you get 618.64 joules (619 rounded)
1 calorie = 4.1858 joules 1 joule = 0.2389029576186153 calories As an example, convert 5 calories to joules. 1 calorie = 4.1858 joules, therefore 5 calories = 4.1858 x 5 joules = 20.929 joules. So when converting calories to joules, multiply the number of calories by 4.1858 to give you the number of joules.
joules are the amount of energy
There are 704 calories in 704 calories. If you intended to ask about joules, then 704 calories is about 2,947.51 joules.
A calorie is about 4.2 joules, therefore a kilocalorie is about 4200 joules. You can multiply by this number.
162 calories is 678.2616 joules. For most purposes you don't need such accuracy, remember one calorie = 4.2 Joules. This is called the mechanical equivalent of heat, and is a useful number to memorize.
To convert from kilojoules to joules you have divide by 1000. meaning 1 kilo joule is equal to 1000 joules.
