What is the relationship between the units of energy (Joule) and force (Newton)? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what a Joule is. A Joule (J) is a unit of energy.
  • Step 2: Understand what a Newton is. A Newton (N) is a unit of force.
  • Step 3: Learn the definition of work. Work is done when a force moves an object.
  • Step 4: Know the relationship between work, force, and distance. Work (in Joules) is equal to force (in Newtons) multiplied by distance (in meters).
  • Step 5: Write the formula for work: Work (J) = Force (N) × Distance (m).
  • Step 6: If a force of 1 Newton moves an object 1 meter, the work done is 1 Joule.
  • Step 7: Therefore, we can say that 1 Joule is equal to 1 Newton times 1 meter, or 1 J = 1 N·m.
