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 joule (J) is named after James Prescott Joule. One joule is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object through a distance of one metre.


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).

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?

Joule is the unit of energy, representing work done or expended in moving an object over a distance. Newton is the unit of force, measuring the amount of force needed to move or stop an object. In essence, joule quantifies energy, whereas newton quantifies force.


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.


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).


What is the unit used to measure work?

Joules. Work = Force (N) x Distance (m) N x m = Joules


What is the SI of work?

The SI (International System of Units) unit of work is the joule (J). One joule is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.


What is the physical quantity of weight?

The physical quantity of weight is Newton (N). Weight shares the same SI unit as force. ;)

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.
