Work is measured in energy or Joules (J), which is a watt*second (W*s). While power is measure in watts (W), which is amps*volts (A*V) or joules/seconds (J/s).

What is energy measure in units?

Energy is the ability to do work . It is measured in Joules.


Joules could be used to measure what?

work and energy +++ The Joule (J) is the unit of energy, alone, not of work. The Watt (W) is the unit of power, i.e. work done in converting or transferring energy, and 1W = 1J/s.


What are the alternative units used to measure values of energy?

The official (international) unit for energy is the joule. Other units frequently used include the calorie, the electron-volt. In general, by the definition of work (which is basically energy) as force x distance, any product of units of force and distance can also be used, for example the foot-pound.

What is a measure of how much work can be done in a certain amount of time?

Power = rate at which Work is done (Work or Energy divided by Time) Units often used for this include: Watt (joules/sec) Horsepower Foot-pounds/minute


A measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed?

Power is the rate of change of work with respect to time. It has units of [kg*m^2/s^3].


What unit is used to measure power?

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transmitted, equal to the work done or energy transmitted divided by time, measured in watts.

How Convert kilo-pascal into watt?

A kiloPascal is a measure of pressure, not power or work. It has 1 kPa = 1000 N/m^2 while 1 Watt = 1J/s = 1 Nm/s. Work must be measured in units of force*distance, like Nm or ft lbf. Also Watts measure power which is work/time. As a result, it is not possible to convert Kpa to Watt.

Power is the measure of Work Done in a given time.


How many units of work are needed to generate 600 units of power in 10 seconds?

Power is energy divided by time. Solving for energy, energy is power multiplied by time. Work is closely related to energy - work is the amount of energy transferred.
