The SI unit for energy is called the joule. This unit is also equal to a newton times a meter.
The term for newton meter is "joule." It is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.
joules
1 joule is a unit of energy. It is defined as the energy required to apply a force of 1 newton over a distance of 1 meter. However, the equivalent energy for other energy types (other than mechanical energy) can be calculated, and is also expressed in joule.
1 joule is equivalent to the energy transferred when a force of 1 newton is applied over a distance of 1 meter. It is also equivalent to 0.239 calories or 0.0002778 kilowatt-hours.
Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.
The SI unit for energy is Joule. It is also called Newton-Meter.
The newton metre is a unit of torque (or moment).
joule
A Newton metre measures torque. It can also be used to measure energy, in which case, it is the equivalent of a joule.
The term for newton meter is "joule." It is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.
joules
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.
A Newton meter does not measure force! Newton meter measures energy E. A Newton measures force. A Nm (Newton Metre)is also the unit used to measure TORQUE which is the twisting energy available if a force of 1Newton was acting at a radius of 1metre on the end of a shaft. A Newton is equal to 0.102 Kilogram. A Newton does not measure force, it is a unit of force, just as a kilogram is a unit of force. Scientists and physicists need to be very clear and precise when they explain technical terms.
1 Joule is the amount of energy required to move a weight of 1 newton a distance of 1 meter (also known as a newton-meter). It is also used as the unit of work, because work is defined as the expending of energy. The abbreviation is J. It is approximately the amount of energy required to lift a small apple 1 meter above the ground. A2: strictly speaking a Newton is a force rather than a weight, the weight of an object is the product of its mass and the gravitational constant G (9.81 m/sec2). The Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 Kg at 1 m/sec2.
A Newton meter is a device that measures force. The simple ones that you typically see in high school laboratories use a spring that stretches or is compressed as a force is applied. They have an indicator needle that shows how much force is applied. See link below for a picture. More sophisticated ones typically use load cells to more accurately measure the force. Some people believe they were invented by Isaac newton but this is not the case. The SI unit of force is called a Newton in his honor. Since these meters measure force they are named after this unit. There is sometimes confusion with a Newton Meter (note different spelling) which is the SI unit of torque. (Turning force.)
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.
Work done is a measure of expended energy, so the SI unit for work done is the same as for energy - the Joule.
