The watt is the SI derived unit for power, it is defined as joules per second, and measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
The unit for work is the joule. The joule is the derived unit for energy, work, and heat ( heat energy, not temperature). One joule is the energy used, or work done, applying a force of one newton for a distance of one metre; or passing one ampere across a resistance of one ohm for one second.

A newton is a unit of force (mass * acceleration), which is equal to:
1 kg * m / s2
(the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass by 1 meter per second per second)
A watt is a unit of power equal to:
1 W = 1 joule (of energy) / s
1 W = 1 newton (of force) * (m / s)
(the amount of work when an object's velocity is held constant at 1 meter per second against an opposing force of 1 newton)

What are the differences between a joule and a watt?
Joules versus wattsThe joule and the watt are closely related units. The joule is a unit of work and energy. It is equal to a newton-meter (N-m). Note that the unit of torque is also the newton-meter, but scientists don't use the word joule when they are talking about torque.The watt is a unit of power and is defined as a joule per second, so you can see that power is work per unit time.One joule is equal to one watt-second.
Does newton meters measure in kilograms?
The units for a Newton meter are [ML^2T^-2]The units for a kilogram are [M]Since the units are not equal, the answer is no, it does not.
What SI unit for force is the newton Which of the following units are equivalent to a newton?
Kilogram-meters per second squared. kg m/s2
Why do you use watts in science?
The watt is used to measure power. The watt (symbol: W) is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It measures rate of energy conversion. One watt is equivalent to 1 joule (J) of energy per second.
How many units are in 1 mega watt?
Your question is wrong. Kwh is a unit of energy, mw is a unit of power . 1kw=1000000milli watt(mw) 1kwh=1000000mwh
What is the label for work?
Work is measured in joules or in watt-seconds, or equivalent units.
What is the relation between Newton meter and watt?
1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second = 1 Newton-meter / Second.
There are two units for energy What are they?
There are many more than two units in common use for energy. Some of them are: -- newton-meter -- joule -- foot-pound -- calorie -- watt-second -- kilowatt-hour -- horsepower-hour

What is the unit of torque in SI and british?
Torque is measured as a unit of length times a unit of force, so the SI unit is Newton-meters (Newton times meters). Imperial units would probably be something like foot-pound. Note that this is unrelated to energy units, also measured in Newton-meters. The unit "joule" as an equivalent for Newton-meters is only used for energy units, not for torque units.
What units are force in?
Forces are measured in Newtons (N). A Newton is a derived SI unit. Sometimes the calculation of a force will give the units kg*m/s^2, this is equivalent to a Newton. The English unit of force is the pound.
What are the differences between James watt and sir isaac newton?
james watt studied as an instrument maker and sir isaac newton studied mathematics and astromy
Engineering units quotes in small letter Kilogram as kg and some units in capital letter watts as W why?
Units named after people are usually spelled in capital letters, like W = Watts, named for James Watt. Other such units include Newton, Pascal, Henry, Joule, etc.
