No. They're different. "Newton" is a unit of force. "Joule" is a unit of energy.
A small force (1 newton) that pushes a Basketball 10 miles can deliver more energy
than a large force (a thousand newtons) that pushes it 1 foot.

What is the SI unit for work function?
Work done is a measure of expended energy, so the SI unit for work done is the same as for energy - the Joule.
The basic unit of lenght in the metric system is?
The unit of work is the joule. One joule is the work done, or the energy used, moving a force of one newton a distance of one metre.
What is the SI unit for force and height and work and mass and energy?
Each of those quantities has a different SI unit. They are: Force. . . . . . . . . Newton Height (length) . Meter Work. . . . . . . . . Joule Mass. . . . . . . . . Kilogram Energy . . . . . . . Joule (same as work)
How did Newton define mass?
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).
What are the applications of newton rings?
You can use newton's rings to measure the refractive index of a substance placed beneath the same lens I'm sure there must be more though .......
Unit that is the same as a newton meter is what?
joule
What is one joule the same as?
1 joule is the same (by definition) as 1 newton x 1 meter. It is also the same as 1 watt x 1 second.
How are joule and newton different?
In the same way that energy and force are different. In the case of mechanical energy, energy = force x distance.
What is the SI unit for work function?
Work done is a measure of expended energy, so the SI unit for work done is the same as for energy - the Joule.
What is the unit used to measure work?
Joules. Work = Force (N) x Distance (m) N x m = Joules
How do you express the joule?
The joule is the unit of energy/work. It is equal to the energy (or work) required to apply a force of 1 newton, along a distance of 1 meter (in the same direction as the force).
The basic unit of lenght in the metric system is?
The unit of work is the joule. One joule is the work done, or the energy used, moving a force of one newton a distance of one metre.
What is the physical quantity of weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass. It is typically measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
How do you convert newton to newton meter?
The Newton cannot be converted into meters; they don't measure the same thing. Newtons measure force or weight. The Newton is however a derived unit; a kgm/s>2.
What is a unlike units?
Units that are not the same. For example, metre, square centimetre and Newton. A metre is a measure of distance, a square centimetre is a measure of area, a Newton is a measure of force.
What does this equation mean One J 1 Newton times meter?
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.
What is the SI unit foe energy?
The SI unit for Energy is the same unit used for work, which is the Joule. The defition of a Joule is: J = N * m = kg*m^2/s^2 Where: kg is kilogram m is meter s is second N is Newton J is Joule
