Joules are the unit for energy; newton-metres (Nm) are used - despite being equivalent units - because the two values used are distance and force, not energy. It also makes calculation easier by preventoing confusion over the units to be used, especially since torques are often divided by distance to get force and vice-versa.

Is a calorie part of the metric system?
calorie was but is now obsolete. Joule and kJ are used instead because they are the SI energy unit
What is the unit of measurement used to express the energy emitted per second?
Power. In SI, energy is measured in Joule, and power is measured to watts (= Joule per second).Power. In SI, energy is measured in Joule, and power is measured to watts (= Joule per second).Power. In SI, energy is measured in Joule, and power is measured to watts (= Joule per second).Power. In SI, energy is measured in Joule, and power is measured to watts (= Joule per second).
What is the unit used to measure chemical energy?
The unit used for ANY type of energy is the joule.
Metric units for force?
Joule A joule is a measure of energy. A Newton is a measure of force.
What is th SI unit used to measure energy?
joule
Which instrument is used to measure forces in newtons?
newtonmeter
What does a newton meter measure?
A Newton metre measures torque. It can also be used to measure energy, in which case, it is the equivalent of a joule.
Is a calorie part of the metric system?
calorie was but is now obsolete. Joule and kJ are used instead because they are the SI energy unit
Why do scientist use the joule as the unit of measurement of energy instead of calorie?
Because it is defined by fundamental SI units, ie the meter and the Newton, which is a force. 1 Joule is the energy used to move 1meter against a force of 1 Newton.
Is joule used on temperature scales?
No. A joule is a unit of energy within the SI system.
What does the joule explain about energy?
The joule doesn't "explain" anything; it is simply a unit used to measure energy.
What is the unit used for measuring work?
Joule.
What is the unit of measure used for energy?
The joule.
What does duplet meter means?
I assume you mean a newton metre(N.m) Which means in the International System of Units (SI), a newton meter is known as a unit of torque. It can also be used as a unit of energy, this is known in the SI as a Joule.
Kj is used to measure what kind of energy?
KJ is Kilojoule - 1000 Joule. Joule, or a multiple such as KJ or MJ, can be used to measure any kind of energy.
What is the symbol to represent a joule?
The symbol that is used to represent a joule is the letter "J". This is a derived unit of energy. It can also be used to represent work, and an amount of heat.
