1 joule is equal to: In terms of SI

In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram - metre squared per second squared (1 J = 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−2). One joule is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a body through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.

It is a unit of measurement for energy in the International Standard of Units (SI). One joule is correlated with one Newton force, as the joule is the engine behind the force that moves an object over one meter. 1 Joule is equal to the energy transferred to an object when a force of one Newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one meter.
