Yes. This unit is called the Joule.
Note: Joule and Newton are people's names so they are always capitalized but metre is not written with a capital letter in a formula.
CommentIn SI, units named in honour of individuals are NOT capitalised, but their symbols are -so, it's joule not Joule and newton not Newton.
The unit of energy is the Joule. Defined as 1 Newton times 1 meter.The unit of energy is the Joule. Defined as 1 Newton times 1 meter.The unit of energy is the Joule. Defined as 1 Newton times 1 meter.The unit of energy is the Joule. Defined as 1 Newton times 1 meter.
Work done is a measure of expended energy, so the SI unit for work done is the same as for energy - the Joule.
You cannot convert newtons to newton-meters because they are measuring different things. It's like asking to convert pounds to degrees Fahrenheit. A newton is a measure of Force, with units (mass X distance)/(time X time), and newton meters is a measure of work or energy, with units (mass X distance X distance)/(time X time).
In the SI, the unit of force is defined by Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration). The unit, called Newton, is the product of a mass (in kilograms) and an acceleration (in meters per square second). That is, a newton is the force required to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second square.
The joule is defined in the SI system as the work done in moving 1 meter against a force of 1 newton, so yes one newton.meter is one joule. The joule is the fundamental unit of work or energy in the mechanical sense, but it can also be equated with thermal energy via the mechanical equivalent of heat, 1 calorie = 4.1868 joules. From the above mechanical definition, the Joule has dimensions of [M] x [L2] x [T-2], since the Newton as a force has dimensions of [M] x [L] x [T-2]CommentCare must be taken not to confuse newton metre in the sense of work (where the force acts in the same direction as the distance travelled) with the newton metre used to measure torque (where the force acts at right angles to a radius of rotation).
1 newton x 1 meter can be one of the following:A) A joule, the unit of energy and of work.B) The unit of torque. In this case, it is written newton-meter; there is no special name for it. This use is completely unrelated to the unit of energy, even though it happens to use the product of the same units.1 newton x 1 meter can be one of the following:A) A joule, the unit of energy and of work.B) The unit of torque.

In the same way that energy and force are different. In the case of mechanical energy, energy = force x distance.
A Newton meter (N·m) is the SI unit for torque, force applied to the lever arm x the length of the lever arm. A Joule, the unit for energy or work, is also a N·m.
1 newton x 1 meter can be either one of the following: A) One joule, the unit of energy B) The unit of torque. In that case, it is written 'newton-meter' and there is no special name for it. This use is completely unrelated to the unit of energy, even though it happens to use the product of the same units.
Work is the amount of energy transferred by a force across a distance. Work = force x distance The unit for work is the Joule (J), which is defined as 1 newton x 1 meter, or 1 newton-meter (Nm) in the SI system.
Work done is a measure of expended energy, so the SI unit for work done is the same as for energy - the Joule.
The 'Newton-meter' is a unit of energy, defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one meter. It is also equivalent to one Joule, and one watt-second. The kilogram is a unit of mass. If one kilogram of mass is completely transformed into energy, then according to Einstein's equation E = M C2, the amount of energy resulting would be E = M C2 E = (1 kg) times (3 x 108 m-s-1)2 = ( 9 x 1016 ) kg-m2-sec-2 = ( 9 x 1016 ) (kg-m-sec-2) ( m ) = 9 x 1016 Newton-meters of energy. To answer the question directly, One newton-meter = 1.1 x 10-15kilogram. But I'm guessing that this isn't what the questioner had in mind. Here's a better answer for this questioner: The 'Newton-meter' is a unit of work or energy, but the 'kilogram' is a unit of mass. They measure different quantities. In the every-day world, they are not equivalent, and neither one can be converted into the other one.
Newton is a measure of force, Joule is a measure of work done. Newton refers to the mechanical energy of moving matter, while joule refers to any form of energy possessed by matter. E.g. W = f X d where W is work in joules, f is force in newtons, and d is distance in meters.
A Newton meter is a device that measures force. The simple ones that you typically see in high school laboratories use a spring that stretches or is compressed as a force is applied. They have an indicator needle that shows how much force is applied. See link below for a picture. More sophisticated ones typically use load cells to more accurately measure the force. Some people believe they were invented by Isaac newton but this is not the case. The SI unit of force is called a Newton in his honor. Since these meters measure force they are named after this unit. There is sometimes confusion with a Newton Meter (note different spelling) which is the SI unit of torque. (Turning force.)
You cannot convert newtons to newton-meters because they are measuring different things. It's like asking to convert pounds to degrees Fahrenheit. A newton is a measure of Force, with units (mass X distance)/(time X time), and newton meters is a measure of work or energy, with units (mass X distance X distance)/(time X time).
From Newton's Second Law: F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). In SI units: newton = (kilogram) x (meter/second2)
