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.

∙ 13y agoNo, although a joule equals a newton times a meter, that is not correct. Joules are unites of energy, while newton meters are units of torque. It is dimensionally correct to multiply energy time the torque, but it just doesn't make any sense at all.

∙ 13y agoYes - when used in the context of energy or work. However, the product newton x meter is also used as a unit of torque; in this case, it is unrelated to energy or work, and is simply called newton-meter.
The Nm is the unit resulting from the equation:
Work done = Force applied (N) x Linear displacement (m)
Dimensional Analysis is, as I remember, the topic we used to study in university to understand the relations between various units. There are text books on this subject.

∙ 11y agoBoth are units of physical measure derived from fundamental units in the SI system.
'Newton' is the SI unit of force, defined as 1 kilogram-meter/second2 .
'Joule' is the SI unit for energy (or work), defined as 1 newton-meter.

∙ 8y agoNo, a joule is a unit of energy and is one newton-meter.
A watt is a measure of power and is one joule per second, or 1 N-m/second

Who is the unit of measurement named after?
newton
What is the relation between Newton meter and watt?
1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second = 1 Newton-meter / Second.
What are Joules a combination of?
The joule is a derived unit equivalent to a newton-meter, or a kilogram-meter squared per second per second.The joule is the unit of energy in the International System of Units, also known as SI. It measures heat, electricity and mechanical work. It was named after English physicist James Prescott Joule.For more information see the answer to the Related Question.
How do you convert 1 kg m to joules?
1 joule is 1 Newton meter which is 1 kg*m / s2. 1J = 1Nm = 1 (kg * m) / s2 Newton is force, kilogram is mass; they are not equivalent.
Which can do more work-a joule of heat energy or a joule of sound energy?
Joule is a measure of energy, also called work, and it doesn't matter what type of energy it is. Work is normally used to describe mechanical energy but it is still measured in Joules.
What is difference between amp and joule?
Amp is the unit of Electric Current where as Joule is a unit of energy. 1 Amp is equal to 1 coulomb per second but 1 Joule is equal to 1 newton- metre.
Newtons times meters this is know as what?
joules
What is the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter is?
The force is 1 newton. The work done is 1 newton-meter = 1 joule.
In SI system the unit of energy?
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.
Metric units for force?
Joule A joule is a measure of energy. A Newton is a measure of force.
Which SI unit for energy is also called the newton-meter?
The newton metre is a unit of torque (or moment).
Unit that is the same as a newton meter is what?
joule
Who is the unit of measurement named after?
newton
What is the si unit for potential energy difference?
Potential energy is measure in Joules (J). A Joule is a Newton*meter (N*m)
Is Newton X meter the unit of energy?
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.
Si units for work?
The SI unit for work is the joule. The Joule is abbreviated as " J ".
What is one newton meter equal to?
1 Joule.
